An act to amend chapter 459 of the laws of 1996 amending the public health law relating to recertification of persons providing emergency medical care, in relation to extending the provisions thereof
Purpose
The purpose of this bill is to extend a program that allows continuing education recertification for emergency medical services technicians.
