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

HB 89 requires all public and charter high schools (grades 9-12) to provide students with 30 minutes of annual cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) instruction and training in the Heimlich maneuver or first aid for choking during their high school years. Starting in the 2017-18 school year, schools must integrate this training into existing health or physical education curricula using approved programs like the American Heart Association's guidelines. Beginning with the 2025-26 school year, the requirement expands to mandate this training for all students in grades 9-12 each year they are enrolled. The bill also specifies that students with disabilities may participate as appropriate under federal disability laws like IDEA.
