SB 1184 - This act requires further accountability of first responders and emergency medical technicians (EMT).

Current law defines "first responders" and requires them to complete a course. This act requires a first responder to display proof of completion of that course in plain view of clients of the emergency medical response agency for which the first responder works (Section 190.092).

Current law also outlines requirements for the issuance of an EMT license and prohibits the representation of one's self as an EMT without a license. This act provides for a Class C felony for violation of licensure requirements upon each offense. This act also provides for a Class A misdemeanor for any individual who employs a person who violates licensure requirements (Section 190.142).
