Relating to the availability and use of airway clearance devices at public school campuses and to contracts for medication for respiratory distress and training at public schools.

HB 549 requires Texas public school districts to make at least one airway clearance device available at each campus by the 2025-2026 school year. These devices, defined as noninvasive tools for removing foreign-body airway obstructions, must be stored where students eat and accessible when students are present. Each school must also ensure at least one trained employee is available at all times during student activity. The law applies to all public school campuses and specifies districts may obtain devices through donations or purchased funds, while clarifying it does not create new liability for schools.
