This bill requires certain school staff members to be trained in the Heimlich maneuver, a life-saving technique used to remove food or other objects blocking a person's airway. It also mandates that at least one staff member trained in the Heimlich maneuver be present whenever and wherever students are eating meals, such as in lunchrooms, multipurpose rooms, or outdoor eating facilities. The Commissioner of Education is authorized to promulgate regulations to implement this new requirement, which aims to ensure the safety and well-being of students during mealtimes.
