Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law requires every school board and the governing body of every
private school to provide a standard first aid kit for use in cases of emergency. This
bill requires school boards and governing bodies of private schools to make
accessible, as part of a first aid kit, an anti-choking device that is registered as a
Class I or Class II medical device with the United States Food and Drug
Administration. The bill also requires school boards and the governing bodies of
private schools to annually provide training on the use of anti-choking devices
according to the device manufacturer's instructions.
For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
