Excerpts from Bill

“It is the intention of the section that students will learn the techniques and practice the psychomotor skills associated with performing CPR. For the purposes of this section, “psychomotor skills” means the use of hands-on practice and skills testing to support cognitive learning and shall not include cognitive-only training. SECTION 3. This act shall take effect upon becoming a law, the public welfare requiring it.”
