AI Summary
This bill requires school districts in Florida to provide instruction in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) as part of the physical education or another required curriculum. Students must practice the psychomotor skills associated with performing CPR at least once before graduating from high school. The instruction must be based on programs established by organizations like the American Heart Association or American Red Cross. The bill also amends existing law to encourage school districts to provide basic first aid and CPR training for all students, beginning in 6th grade and every 2 years thereafter, and to seek private and public partnerships for providing training or funding.
