The sponsor's argument
Why Monica Martinez says this is needed
Currently, retired emergency medical technicians (EMT's) are capped at earning $35,000 per year like most other public service retirees. Unfortunately, many EMT's reach that earnings limit by September or October, which leaves emergency medical service (EMS) agencies with staffing shortages for the duration of the calendar year. To address this problematic public safety issue, this bill increases the earnings limitation for retired EMT's to $50,000 so they can continue working per diem at EMS agencies and provide lifesaving care in our communities.
This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
