Bill > A3778

This bill requires that each public and nonpublic school in New Jersey have at least one portable anti-choking device, which is a medical device that uses suction to remove airway blockages, placed in accessible locations such as the cafeteria and nurse's office. The bill also requires that school nurses and employees receive training in airway management and the use of these devices, and that the Commissioner of Education provide annual educational opportunities on these topics. The Department of Education is required to reimburse schools for the costs of implementing the bill's provisions and may accept private or nonprofit funding to help cover these expenses. The bill will take effect 180 days after enactment, though the Commissioner of Education can take preparatory actions beforehand.
