AI Summary

This bill amends the Public School Code of 1949 to require the Department of Education, in cooperation with the Department of Health, to establish a unit of instruction in grades 11 and 12 to educate students about blood donation. The unit will cover the physiology of blood, the need for and procedures around blood donation, and encourage students to donate blood and volunteer at local blood banks. Students can be excused from the instruction on religious grounds, and the State Board of Education will adopt regulations to implement the new requirement.
