A RESOLUTION encouraging Kentucky schools to acquire anti-choking devices.

This resolution encourages Kentucky schools to acquire anti-choking devices, such as LifeVac, which are FDA-registered suction tools for choking emergencies. It cites U.S. statistics showing over 12,000 annual child choking injuries and references the 2022 death of Landon McCubbins, an 8-year-old from Kentucky who choked at school. The resolution does not mandate device purchases but urges schools to adopt them, noting 52 lives were saved in schools using LifeVac devices as reported by the company. It also extends condolences to McCubbins' family and directs copies to the Kentucky Department of Education.
