Requires bleeding control kits in all public school and charter school classrooms
HB 266 requires all Missouri public and charter schools to provide bleeding control kits in classrooms and other high-traffic or high-risk areas, such as cafeterias, gyms, and vocational classrooms. The kits must contain specific items like tourniquets (endorsed by the U.S. Department of Defense), bandages, gloves, and "Stop the Bleed" instructional materials. Schools must train designated staff annually using the "Stop the Bleed" program, inspect kits yearly, restock after use, and include kits in emergency drills. Implementation is required by the end of the 2025-26 school year, though costs depend on legislative funding.
