They can always ask you to leave. Refusal would be tresspassing.

Being an emergency responder won't be good enough. The exemption will only kick in if actually responding to an emergency as an emergency responder.

not being sarcastic, the answer is I don't know what cannot be anticipated or foreseen
I have no idea, I wouldn't have imagined a fireman getting shot last week either though
I firmly support that a firefighter or ems personal shouldn't need to look for 30.06 signs before rushing into a building.

This was the type of answer I was looking for. Thanks! It dawned on me after I posted that staging is often done at schools or even courthouses.

I have no idea what "needs" are that cannot be anticipated, why would there be a "NEED" to prohibit or to NOT be armed should be the question when depriving one of a right to defend themselves with a constitutionally protected RKBA tool
We also need to be careful whenb carving out exceptions for certain people. HB435 seems like a good thing to me, but it also deserves some scrutiny when exeptions are being carved out for a certain few. My understanding of the types of responces that CERT responds is limited.

Re: HB435 Volunteer Emergency Svces Carrying

Is CERT really likely to need this exemption? I am not familiar with the situations that they are likely to find themselves in, but I was wondering how likely they would be to set up in a posted 30.06/07 location particularly under an emergency situation.

Just curious.
