Bill > SB20

This bill, titled "Cpr Curriculum," aims to integrate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) education into Alaska's public school system by amending existing law and adding a new section. Specifically, it removes CPR from a general list of health education topics that schools are encouraged to include, and then establishes a new requirement for the Department of Education and Early Development to adopt curricula for hands-only CPR instruction. The department will decide which grade levels will receive this training and ensure the curriculum is age-appropriate, evidence-based, includes hands-on practice, and covers the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs). The bill also specifies that individuals with relevant certifications, such as CPR instructor certificates, emergency medical service licenses, or teaching certificates, can deliver this instruction, and that public schools must offer it for the designated grade levels.
