SENATE BILL 221
CPR CURRICULUM
EXPLANATION OF CHANGES
(VERSION A TO CS for SB 221)
"An Act relating to cardiopulmonary resuscitation
education in public schools; relating to the duties of
the Department of Education and Early Development; and
providing for an effective date."
This version intends to reduce the fiscal note by
changing the language in the bill to require the
school district to adopt an existing program instead
of requiring DEED to develop a new curriculum. It adds
language to specify that the CPR program must be
taught to students between the grades 9 and 12, to
give the school districts a longer time frame to offer
the training. It also changes the requirement for the
instructor that would present the program, to hold a
CPR Certificate rather than a CPR Instructor
Certificate.
Section 1: No changes made to this section.
Section 2: Deletes lines 2-11 and adds new language,
see note above.
