Summary
Amends the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Systems Act. Changes the terms "Emergency Medical Technician-Paramedic (EMT-P)" to "Paramedic", "Emergency Medical Technician-Basic (EMT-B)" to "EMT", and "Pre-hospital RN" to "Pre-Hospital Registered Nurse". Adds a new category of license for Advanced Emergency Medical Technicians (AEMT). Provides for the licensure (instead of certification) of Pre-Hospital Registered Nurses and Emergency Communications Registered Nurses. Repeals a provision that defined the term "First Responder" and provided for the licensure of First Responders. Creates a category of license for Emergency Medical Responders. Provides educational requirements for Emergency Medical Responders. Provides that the definitions of basic life support services, intermediate life support services, and advanced life support services shall include the services outlined in the National EMS Education Standards (instead of in the national curriculum of the United States Department of Transportation).

Adds the category of AEMT to provisions concerning EMTs in the Firemen's Disciplinary Act, the Volunteer Emergency Worker Job Protection Act, the Illinois Municipal Code, the Fire Protection District Act, the AIDS Confidentiality Act, the Good Samaritan Act, the Workers' Compensation Act, and the Workers' Occupational Diseases Act.
