NREMT-P for 18D?

[ender18d]

I keep hearing rumblings that the schoolhouse may get back the ability to grant NREMT-P certification to 18D's (just read it again in the other paramedic thread in this forum)... Does anyone on here have any first-hand knowledge of this? If this rumor is true, how would this affect guys who have already gone through the course but did not have the chance to get NREMT-P certified? Would we be grandfathered in and given the chance to test?

Thanks in advance!
