Bill > S1337

This bill, known as the "Massachusetts Trauma Response Preparedness Act," requires all public buildings, including state or local government buildings, schools, places of worship, and other venues with a capacity of at least 300 people, to have clearly visible, centrally located, and easily accessible trauma kits. These kits must contain essential items like tourniquets, gauze, and gloves, as well as a training booklet. Additionally, the bill mandates that each building have a designated "Trauma Kit Designee" - a person trained and certified in bleeding control by the American College of Surgeons or an equivalent organization. The bill also allows buildings to share storage space and personnel for both trauma kits and automated external defibrillators (AEDs). Furthermore, the bill provides legal protections for good-faith attempts to render emergency care, such as bleeding control, without compensation.
