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 public schools to purchase tourniquets and train staff on their use. Each county superintendent must distribute up to $500,000 in state funds to school boards for tourniquet purchases, with tourniquets kept in unlocked, clearly marked locations accessible during school hours and school events. School boards must provide annual training for school nurses, safety officers, and teachers on tourniquet use and bleeding control, potentially partnering with local emergency services. The bill mandates annual staff participation in training and requires school boards to submit compliance statements to county superintendents. It applies directly to all public schools in New Jersey counties.
