An Act relative to student heart health

This bill requires Massachusetts public schools to include hands-only CPR and AED (automated external defibrillator) training as a graduation requirement. It mandates that this training follow current national guidelines and include hands-on practice ("psychomotor skills") to develop practical abilities. Schools must provide this training through licensed teachers (who don’t need CPR certification) or certified instructors for courses leading to certification. Additionally, the state offers financial incentives via grants or subsidies to school districts - prioritizing high-need schools (e.g., those with 50%+ students eligible for free meals or Title I status) - to support equipment and staff training for this program.
