Relating to instruction in cardiopulmonary resuscitation in public schools.

SB 1550 requires Texas public schools to provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) training to students. The bill mandates that this instruction, effective for the 2025-2026 school year, must be developed by the American Heart Association or American Red Cross, or use nationally recognized evidence-based guidelines, and must include hands-on psychomotor skills practice. It directly affects all Texas public schools and their students by adding CPR/AED education to health curricula. The law specifies that training must cover both CPR techniques and AED use, ensuring students learn practical emergency response skills.
