Bill overview
This bill requires all public and nonpublic schools in New Jersey to have at least one portable, FDA-approved anti-choking device readily available in locations like the cafeteria and nurse’s office. Schools must develop policies for using these devices, train staff in airway management, and the Department of Education will provide reimbursement for implementation costs. The goal is to improve safety and response capabilities in the event of a choking emergency.
