EMTs WITH LAPSING CREDENTIALS:

On March 30, 2020, the Governor of the State of California issued an Executive Order that, in part, changed several credentialing regulations. Under this order, some EMS personnel credential regulations have been temporarily altered:

The requirement for a completed skills competency verification by EMTs for renewal or reinstatement is waived for the duration of the COVID-19 declared State of Emergency.

County EMS encourages EMTs to renew now to take advantage of the skills competency verification waiver:

Renewing EMTs will not be required to submit a completed skills competency verification (“skill sheet”). Since this extension is tied to the State of Emergency, County EMS cannot predict the end date.
If you have your 24 hours of CE and a BLS CPR card, you may renew now. In addition:
Please submit this EMSA document in place of the skills sheet
