Bill Summary
Relative to requiring instruction in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the use of defibrillators for high school graduation. Education.
AI Summary
This bill requires all public high school students in Massachusetts to study and demonstrate a general knowledge of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) as a prerequisite for graduation. The instruction must be based on a program established by the American Heart Association, the American Red Cross, or another nationally recognized program that uses the most current national evidence-based Emergency Cardiovascular Care guidelines and incorporates hands-on practice and skills testing. A licensed teacher is not required to be a certified CPR/AED instructor to provide this instruction, but courses that result in certification must be taught by an authorized instructor.
