Updated testing rules for EMS licenses

The law updates how EMS workers prove skills. For a basic EMS license, you must pass a state cognitive test and a board-approved skills assessment. To demonstrate competence for your license level, the board accepts either run report reviews plus continuing education, or the same test and assessment. The law replaces the term "practical evaluation" with "assessment."
