A 10320 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the use of airway clearance devices in schools

This bill requires schools to establish policies for using portable airway clearance devices (which remove choking blockages during emergencies) and mandates training for school nurses and employees on their use. It directly affects schools, school nurses, and staff who may need to respond to choking incidents. Key provisions include requiring schools to create usage policies, allowing school boards to reimburse training costs, and providing liability protection for volunteers who use the devices in emergencies without expecting payment. The law does not require schools to purchase devices but sets rules for their safe use if available.
