Bill > HB118

This bill enhances safety requirements for child care learning centers and family child care learning homes in Georgia by mandating two key provisions. First, the bill introduces a new definition for a "portable airway clearance device" as a medical device that manually removes airway blockages during choking emergencies, and requires these facilities to keep at least one such device on their premises. Second, the bill requires that all employees who directly care for or supervise children must become certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) within 45 days of starting their employment. These new requirements aim to improve child safety by ensuring that child care facilities are equipped with emergency medical tools and that staff are trained to respond to potential medical crises quickly and effectively. The bill will go into effect upon the Governor's approval or when it becomes law automatically, and it repeals any existing laws that conflict with its provisions.
