EMT application process? suspended license?
Question by ElectroNeonKillz : EMT application process? suspended license? a year and a half i was arrested for “refusing the breathalyzer” and the consequence was losing my license for a year. i wasn’t charged with DUI or ANYTHING. court droped my charges. i now have my license back and am going to start applying to be an EMT in california. im not really familiar with california laws, so does anybody know if that would prevent me from being able to be an EMT?!

It could, but it doesn’t really go into detail other than to state that certain counties may require background checks, but doesn’t say what will happen if something is found on the check.
Regulations for EMTs appear in California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 9.
Special License Requirements: Persons operating private ambulance services must be licensed by the California Highway Patrol; private ambulance drivers must be licensed by the Department of Motor Vehicles; some counties require EMT-I and EMT-II applicants to be fingerprinted. By July 1, 2010, all new applicants for EMT-I or EMT-II (Advanced EMT) will have to be fingerprinted for a state and federal background check.
