Bill > HB1376

This bill requires all high schools in North Dakota to provide annual cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training to students, with the option for students to obtain certification. The training must be conducted by an instructor certified by a reputable national organization such as the American Heart Association or American Red Cross, and must follow the organization's established guidelines. Additionally, the training must include instruction on how to stop severe bleeding. The bill also mandates that the state superintendent of public instruction will fully reimburse school districts for the expenses associated with providing CPR certification to high school students. The goal of this legislation appears to be ensuring that high school students have the opportunity to learn critical life-saving skills that could potentially help them respond effectively in medical emergencies, such as cardiac arrests or serious injuries.
