1 is a public necessity. This exemption is justified because if
2 such information were not confidential, an emergency medical
3 technician or paramedic or a member or members of his or her
4 family could be harmed or threatened with harm by an
5 individual, or a family member of such individual, who was
6 provided emergency medical care which resulted in a negative
7 outcome. The exemption is further justified because emergency
8 medical technicians and paramedics are subject to the same
9 exposure as law enforcement officers and firefighters, both of
10 which are protected by an exemption from public records
11 requirements for personal identifying and location information
12 pertaining to the law enforcement officers, firefighters, and
13 their families.
