Relates to first aid instruction for students in grades nine through twelve
This bill requires high schools to include first aid instruction for students in grades nine through twelve. The law mandates that the curriculum cover essential skills such as recognizing shock, treating minor wounds and burns, managing choking, and performing CPR, with an option for students to become certified. Schools can integrate this training into existing health classes or offer it as an after-school elective, and the changes will take effect on July 1 following the bill's enactment.
