A major step forward for New Jersey’s first responders.

Assemblywoman Carol Murphy has formally introduced A6075, a bill that would formally designate Basic Life Support Services as an essential service in our state. This measure would require municipalities to provide consistent, reliable EMS coverage and allow them to secure services through multiple models, from public agencies to contracted providers.

The NJ FMBA worked directly with Assemblywoman Murphy to bring this legislation forward, addressing long standing gaps in how EMS is recognized and supported. This change will strengthen funding, improve recruitment and retention, and ensure EMS professionals receive the resources, training, and support they need to keep communities safe.

This initiative is LONG overdue. The Galloway Township Ambulance Squad fully supports this legislation.

The NJ FMBA is proud to announce that Assembly Bill A6075, the EMS Essential Service legislation, has officially been introduced in the New Jersey General Assembly. This FMBA-initiated bill would finally designate EMS as an essential service in our state, securing stable funding, strengthening training and staffing, and ensuring uninterrupted basic life support for residents even during economic challenges.

Our organization has worked tirelessly to bring this forward, and we thank Assemblywoman Carol Murphy for sponsoring this long-overdue measure. This is a major step toward giving EMT's and EMS professionals the protections they deserve.

Your voice matters. Read the bill and contact your legislators to show your support.
