Emergency Medical Assistants Licensing Board Notices

Last updated on September 6, 2024

The Emergency Health Services Act empowers the EMA Licensing Board to investigate complaints regarding paramedics and first responders. In addition, the Act also empowers the Board to make rules governing its own procedure.

Under the Board rules, notices for citations, extraordinary actions taken to protect the public, undertaking agreements, alternate dispute resolutions, Board hearing decisions and Board penalty decisions must be posted to the website.

 

Citations - Notice of Upcoming Hearings

Under the EMA Licensing Board Rules notice of upcoming hearings are posted at least 14 days before the discipline hearing and will be removed once the hearing is completed, if the hearing is cancelled, if the Board deems the hearing no longer necessary or the hearing is superseded by an agreement between the Board and the respondent.
