Part B of title III of the Public Health Service Act ( 42 U.S.C. 243 et seq. ) is amended by inserting after section 320B the following: The Secretary shall establish a demonstration program under which the Secretary will award grants to States to streamline State requirements and procedures in order to assist veterans who have completed military emergency medical technician training while serving in the Armed Forces of the United States meet the certification, licensure, and other requirements applicable to becoming an emergency medical technician or paramedic in the State.
A State receiving a grant under this section shall use amounts received through the grant to prepare and implement a plan to streamline State requirements and procedures as described in subsection (a), including by— determining the extent to which the requirements for the education, training, and skill level of emergency medical technicians in the State are equivalent to requirements for the education, training, and skill level of military emergency medical technicians; and identifying methods, such as waivers, for military emergency medical technicians to forego or meet any such equivalent State requirements.
To be eligible for a grant under this section, a State shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Secretary that the State has a shortage of emergency medical technicians. Beginning on the date that is one year after the date on which the first grant is awarded under this section, and annually thereafter, the Secretary shall submit to the Congress an report on the success of the program under this section in assisting military emergency medical technicians to receive certification or licensure as an emergency medical technician or paramedic in a State.
To carry out this section, there are authorized to be appropriated $20,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2024 through 2028. .
