Bill > HB4107

This bill modifies the recommended model core academic curriculum content standards for health education in Michigan schools, primarily focusing on adding new requirements for health education in grades 7-12. The bill mandates that schools provide instruction in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillators (AED), and introduces a new requirement for instruction on first aid response using Stop the Bleed program guidelines. The legislation specifies that for students physically able to participate, hands-on training is strongly encouraged. The bill allows flexibility in instruction delivery, permitting schools to use various local resources like emergency medical technicians, nurses, police officers, and firefighters to provide the training. It also clarifies that for basic CPR instruction that does not result in certification, teachers do not need to be certified CPR/AED instructors. Additionally, the bill provides an exemption for fully online schools from incorporating hands-on psychomotor skills training. The first aid response kits required by the bill must include specific items like tourniquets, bleeding control dressings, protective gloves, and instruction manuals, aimed at preparing students for potential emergency medical situations.
