S 2986 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires school districts to provide instruction on bleed control as part of implementation of New Jersey Student Learning Standards in Comprehensive Health and Physical Education.

This bill requires New Jersey public school districts with grades 9-12 to integrate bleed control instruction into their existing health and physical education curriculum, as part of the state's Comprehensive Health and Physical Education standards. It directly affects high school students by adding practical skills for managing severe bleeding injuries. School districts may choose free, non-certification training programs to meet this requirement. The law takes effect immediately, with implementation beginning in the first full school year after enactment. This is a concrete curriculum change focused on student safety, not a broader policy or commentary.
