Bill Summary
Relative to mandating cardiopulmonary resuscitation training in high schools. Education.
AI Summary
This bill mandates that all school committees and school districts provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training for high school students before they graduate, ensuring this training includes hands-on practice, referred to as "psychomotor skill," to reinforce learning, and explicitly states that learning CPR through only reading or watching, known as "cognitive-only" training, will not be sufficient. The bill also requires the department of elementary and secondary education to create regulations to ensure schools are following this new requirement.
