AI Summary
This bill, known as the "Massachusetts Trauma Response Preparedness Act," requires the installation of trauma kits and the designation of trained personnel in certain public buildings, including state and local government buildings, schools, places of worship, and other facilities with a capacity of at least 300 people. The trauma kits must contain essential first aid supplies to help bystanders provide emergency care for serious bleeding. The bill also provides legal protections for individuals who, in good faith, attempt to render emergency care using the trauma kits. Additionally, the bill allows cities and towns to use Community Preservation Funds to procure trauma kits and designate trauma kit personnel in town or city-owned buildings and public school facilities.
