Bill Summary
Requiring instruction in CPR and the use of defibrillators for high school graduation
AI Summary
This bill requires high school students to receive instruction in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) as a condition for high school graduation. The instruction must be based on the most current national evidence-based guidelines and incorporate hands-on practice and skills testing to support cognitive learning. The bill also specifies that teachers facilitating this instruction do not need to be certified CPR/AED instructors, but courses that result in certification must be taught by authorized instructors.
