Summary

SB 1161 lets volunteer emergency responders deduct up to $2,000 of their stipend from state taxes and expands who can staff ambulances, including physicians and nurses. It also defines rural EMS providers, simplifies out‑of‑state license reciprocity, and sets new late‑renewal and reinstatement rules for EMS licenses. The changes aim to support volunteers and improve staffing flexibility, particularly in small‑population areas.
