An Act To Require Bleeding Control Kits In State-Owned Buildings

LD 774 requires all state-owned buildings (occupied, nonresidential buildings where state employees work) to have bleeding control kits by October 1, 2026. These kits must include specific items like tourniquets, wound-packing gauze, and specialized dressings approved by medical authorities, and must be inspected regularly for expiration and condition. The bill also creates a fund to provide grants or reimbursements to schools, businesses, or organizations that place kits or offer related training. It protects individuals who use kits in good faith during emergencies from liability, unless gross negligence occurs. This applies to all state-owned buildings except vacant, construction, or renovation sites.
