Excerpts from Bill

“After July 1, 2016, the state boards shall require to be taught in all of the public schools of this state once during grades nine through twelve as a requirement for graduation at least thirty minutes of instruction on the subject of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which must include a psycho-motor skills component. However, full certification is encouraged.

These community members are encouraged to provide necessary training and instructional resources such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation kits and other material at no cost to the schools.”
