Bill > HB116

This bill requires bleeding control kits to be placed in all public school and charter school classrooms in Missouri. The bill defines a "bleeding control kit" as a first aid kit containing specific medical supplies and equipment to treat traumatic blood loss. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is required to develop a protocol for school personnel to follow in the event of an injury involving traumatic blood loss, including requirements for the placement, inspection, and restocking of the bleeding control kits. The bill also mandates annual training for designated school personnel on the use of the bleeding control kits. The bill provides immunity from civil liability for school personnel who use the kits in good faith, except in cases of gross negligence or willful, wanton, or intentional misconduct.
