HB 1823 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Requires public schools to provide annual instruction and training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and first aid for choking to high school pupils

This bill requires public and charter high schools to teach students cardiopulmonary resuscitation and choking first aid, such as the Heimlich maneuver, for a minimum of thirty minutes during their high school years. The instruction must be integrated into existing health or physical education curricula and follow guidelines from recognized organizations like the American Heart Association or the American Red Cross. Schools have flexibility in delivering the training, as teachers do not need to be certified instructors unless the course aims to lead to official certification, and they may partner with local first responder groups for hands-on practice. Students with disabilities are included in these requirements to the extent appropriate under federal disability laws.
