Bill overview
This bill would require all Massachusetts high school students to receive instruction in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the proper use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) as a graduation requirement. The goal is to increase public preparedness and response capabilities in emergency situations involving cardiac arrest. By equipping students with these skills, the state aims to improve survival rates and potentially save lives. This legislation builds upon previous attempts to introduce similar requirements.
