Arkansas has become the 25th state to join the United States EMS Compact. This will enable EMS clinicians to deliver care across state lines.

The Recognition of EMS Personnel Licensure Interstate Compact (REPLICA) enables Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel to practice across state lines. Over 20 states have already enacted this compact. It grants licensed EMS professionals from one member state the Privilege to Practice in other member states, supporting efficient and flexible EMS response.

To join the EMS Compact, states must enact uniform model legislation without making substantive changes.
