Bill Summary
Relative to requiring instruction in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the use of defibrillators for high school graduation. Education.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law to require 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 Emergency Cardiovascular Care guidelines and incorporate hands-on practice and skills testing to support cognitive learning. The bill also specifies that a licensed teacher is not required to be a certified CPR/AED instructor to facilitate, provide, or oversee such instruction for non-certification purposes, but courses that result in a certification being earned must be taught by an authorized CPR/AED instructor.
