Potential Harm | There have been zero (0) licenses issued since 2019. Due to changes in testing availability, technology, and application processing, this licensure level no longer serves a need as individuals may obtain full Emergency Medical Responder licensure within the time frame it takes to get a Temporary Emergency Medical Responder license. No public harm will be realized with elimination of this license designation. |
