Bill > SF3715

This bill modifies existing requirements for child care center staff training in Minnesota, specifically concerning cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for infants and children. The key change is to explicitly include instruction on how to perform back blows for infants and abdominal thrusts for children within the required pediatric CPR training. This training, which must be completed before staff have unsupervised contact with children but no later than 90 days after employment, needs to be provided by an approved instructor and include hands-on practice and an observed skills assessment. The training must also adhere to guidelines from organizations like the American Heart Association or American Red Cross, and be repeated at least every two years, but it cannot be used to fulfill other general in-service training requirements.
