Requires executive county superintendent to distribute funds to each public school located in county for purchase of tourniquets and requires training on tourniquet use; appropriates up to $500,000.

This bill requires New Jersey's executive county superintendents to distribute up to $500,000 in state funds to each public school district in their county for purchasing tourniquets. It mandates that schools place tourniquets in unlocked, clearly marked locations accessible during school hours and school-sponsored events. The bill also requires annual training for school nurses, safety officers, and teaching staff on tourniquet use and bleeding control techniques, which districts may deliver through partnerships with law enforcement or medical services. Schools must submit annual compliance reports to county superintendents. The law applies directly to all public school districts and their designated staff.
