15. General issue area code HCR
16. Specific lobbying issues
Fund and Reauthorize the Supporting and Improving Rural EMS Needs (SIREN) Law;
Support legislation to reimburse EMS for Treatment in Place (TIP) and Transport to Alternate Destination (TAD);
Express opposition and concern over CMMI's decision to end the ET3 model on December 31st;
Support Congressional letter to DEA to finalize PPAEMA regulations;
Support EMS Workforce: Insufficient reimbursement for EMS care and lack of federal investment in EMS are long-term problems that have been building for decades. The additional burdens placed on EMS systems and personnel during the pandemic made a serious problem even worse, pushing many EMS systems in our country to the breaking point. Most communities are facing crisis-level shortages of EMS personnel, and many have seen EMS agencies close altogether, removing a critical lifeline from these communities. The shortage of EMS personnel threatens to undermine our emergency 9-1-1 response infrastructure;
Expand the Hospital Preparedness Program, authorized by the Pandemic and All Hazards Preparedness Act (PAHPA), to include $50 million to fund an EMS Preparedness and Response Workforce Shortage Program. Funds from this grant program would support recruitment, retention, and training of EMS personnel including tuition and associated expenses for paramedic and EMT training courses; expenses for required continuing education courses; and costs related to licensure and certification;
Make EMS eligible for federal grants offered through the Department of Labor and other agencies for apprenticeship programs. Apprenticeship programs have historically been used to spur workforce development or expansion in sectors of the economy that need workers. EMS agencies and fire departments struggling to recruit and retain EMS personnel would benefit from access to federal grants to support apprenticeship programs for Paramedics and EMTs;
Support Congress to hold congressional hearings on the EMS workforce crisis and the causes for the exodus of the EMS workforce from the profession;
Support participation of EMS Caucus;
Support S.265/H.R. 4646, to reauthorize the SIREN Act grants for another five years (2024-2028);
Support S. 1115/H.R. 2574, EMS Counts;
Support H.R. 1666/S.1673, Protecting Access to Ground Ambulance Medical Services Act of 2023;
Support letter to Secretary Buttigeig regarding the need for the hot car regulation;
Support H.R. 3671/S. 1925, HERO Act;
Support S.1528/H.R. 1796, the Disaster Survivor Fairness Act;
Support H.R.1784, Next Generation 9-1-1 Act of 2023;
Support S.1514/H.R.3170, the HELPER Act;
Support S.1176/H.R.2663, Workplace Violence;
Support S.977/H.R. 1814, the Fire/EMS Station Act;
Support H.R.1719, to amend the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to provide public safety officer benefits for exposure-related cancers, and for other purposes
Support S.645, the Fighting Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Act of 2023;
Support S.261/H.R. 795, Protecting First Responders from Secondary Exposure Act of 2023;
Support S.154/H.R. 621, Preventing Auto Recycling Theft Act (PART Act);
Support H.R.1423, 911 Community Crisis Responders Act;
Support H.R.3104, Helping Our Heroes Act;
Support H.R.2548, the Public Safety Concussions and TBI Health Act;
Support H.R.2370: Access to AEDs Act;
