HB 4684 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to instruction in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the use of automated external defibrillators for school district, private school, and open-enrollment charter school employees and volunteers.

HB 4684 requires public school employees in specific roles - such as nurses, athletic coaches, physical education instructors, and marching band directors - to complete certified training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) use from recognized organizations like the American Heart Association. It also mandates that private schools and open-enrollment charter schools adopt policies making this training available to all employees and volunteers, aligning with the same certification standards. The law takes effect for the 2025-2026 school year, requiring schools to implement these training programs by then. This focuses on equipping school staff with life-saving skills to respond to medical emergencies.
