(b) submit to and pass a background screening clearance as per Section R426-5-3200;

(c) retain documentation of having completed a cardiopulmonary resuscitation course within the prior two years that is consistent with the 2020 version of the American Heart Association Guidelines for the level of Adult and Pediatric Healthcare Professional Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Basic Life Support.

(4) The EMR, EMT, AEMT, EMT-IA, or Paramedic shall complete and provide documentation upon request of demonstrating the psychomotor skills listed in the 2019 National EMS Education Standards at their level of licensure.

(5) An EMR, EMT, AEMT, EMT-IA, or Paramedic who is affiliated with a licensed or designated EMS provider shall have the licensed or designated EMS provider's training officer submit a letter verifying the completion of the renewal requirements. An EMR, EMT, AEMT, EMT-IA, or Paramedic who is not affiliated with a licensed or designated EMS provider shall provide upon the request of the Department verification of renewal requirements directly to the Department.

(6) An AEMT, EMT-IA or Paramedic shall obtain verification from a certified off-line medical director recommending the individual for renewal verifying the individual has demonstrated proficiency in the psychomotor skills listed in the 2019 National EMS Education Standards at their license level.

(7) Individuals are responsible to complete and submit required renewal material to the Department at one time, no later than 30 days and no earlier than six months before the individual's current license expiration date. Renewal material submitted less than 30 days may result in a license expiration. The Department processes renewal material in the order received.

(8) A Department approved entity who provides continuing medical education may compile and submit renewal materials on behalf of an EMR, EMT, AEMT, EMT-IA, or Paramedic; however, the individual EMR, EMT, AEMT, EMT-IA, or Paramedic is responsible for a timely and complete submission.

(9) The Department may not lengthen an individual's license period to more than the two years, unless the individual is a member of the National Guard or reserve component of the armed forces and is on active duty when the license expired.
