Requires instruction on bleeding control for high school students.
New Jersey bill A5105 requires public school districts to teach bleeding control techniques to students in grades 9-12 as part of health and physical education curriculum, starting with the first full school year after the law takes effect. The bill mandates that schools incorporate this instruction, allowing them to use the American College of Surgeons' "Stop the Bleed" program as a resource. Key provisions include teaching basic emergency methods like applying pressure, packing wounds, and using tourniquets to control severe bleeding. This policy directly affects high school students across all New Jersey public school districts.
