§  3051.  Declaration of purpose.  Emergency medical services provided   to those suffering from sudden  illness  or  injury  have  potential  to   reduce  the  incidence  of  disability  and  death  and  are  therefore,   invaluable.

There is therefore a need to provide   flexible,  diverse  and  high  quality  training opportunities which are   reasonably available, particularly to volunteers who devote considerable   time, effort, and often personal resources, to improve or  retain  their   knowledge  and  skills.  The  state  has a responsibility to support and   further the  work  of  those  who  provide  emergency  medical  care  by   providing needed instructional resources.The  purpose  of  this  article  is  to  expand  and  improve training   opportunities  for  emergency   medical   service   personnel,   thereby   benefiting  all the residents of New York state who rely on the services   of these personnel.
