AI Summary
This bill amends the Public School Code of 1949 to require the Department of Education, in cooperation with the Department of Health, to establish a unit of instruction for students in grades 11 and 12 to educate them about blood donation. The unit will cover the physiology of blood, the need and uses of donated blood, and encourage students to donate blood and volunteer at local blood banks. Students can be excused from the unit on religious grounds, and the State Board of Education will promulgate regulations for the implementation of this new requirement.
