Senate Bill 23 removes the requirement that advanced life support (paramedic) students and license applicants have a high school diploma or pass an equivalency test. Instead, people can pursue advanced life support training and licensing without meeting this education requirement, though they must still meet other qualifications like being at least 18 years old and passing required training and exams.
