Bill Summary
Requiring instruction in CPR and the use of defibrillators for high school graduation
AI Summary
This bill requires high school students to receive instruction in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) as a condition for graduation. The instruction must be based on the most current national evidence-based emergency cardiovascular care guidelines and include hands-on practice and skills testing to support the cognitive learning. The bill also clarifies that a licensed teacher does not need to be a certified CPR/AED instructor to facilitate or oversee this instruction if it does not result in a certification being earned. However, courses that result in a certification must be taught by an authorized CPR/AED instructor.
