Requires cardiopulmonary resuscitation instruction as a part of the health education curriculum in all senior high schools
This bill requires all senior high schools to include voluntary cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) instruction as part of their health education curriculum. It mandates that instructors must hold valid CPR certification and that school authorities provide necessary facilities, time, and learning materials. The curriculum must meet or exceed standards set by the American Heart Association or American Red Cross, ensuring quality instruction without prescribing lower-quality alternatives. The bill directly affects public and private senior high schools across the state and takes effect July 1, 2025.
