Paramedic Jason Dyess addressed the Higher Education Committee in Austin on Thursday to show Paris EMS Support for HB582, which would offer Texas Paramedics an exemption for tuition and fees from State Colleges for certification and continuing education. This bill, introduced by House Representative Cole, would give Paramedics the same exemptions as Firefighters and Law Enforcement.

Representative Cole and Jason's testimony can be heard starting at the 1:12:25 mark on this video from 3/18/2021 https://tlchouse.granicus.com/videos/19744/player
Paris EMS Director Russell Thrasher said: Paris EMS continues to stand out as a leader amongst rural EMS's in the State of Texas combatting COVID-19 and future medical challenges.... I am very proud to have Jason as a leader in my department!
