Personnel Licensure Council (PLC)

Council Overview

The PLC is composed of state EMS office staff whose primary responsibility is regulating licensed EMS professionals. The work of the PLC is primarily focused on matters related to the development of licensing requirements, investigations, and disciplinary actions.

The council provides a forum for communication, interaction and networking between peers, other national organizations and federal agencies with similar missions. This forum allows for the sharing of best practices; developing and encouraging mentoring programs; the joint resolution of obstacles and challenges; and the nationwide promotion of evidence-based decision making for EMS system development.
