NowFor emergency medical care technicians, the department may not sell or disclose their personal identifying information. It may disclose it only with the technician's consent, and the consent must state what information may be shared and for what purposes.
-
NowThe department may still share technicians' information that is de-identified or aggregated so a person cannot reasonably be identified. It may also share licensing application and license information with other regulators, including licensure compact commissions, and disclose licensing history or disciplinary records under section 36-2220.
