This bill proposes the establishment of a "stop the bleed" pilot program within the Department of Health Services, which would involve the purchase and distribution of bleed control kits to school districts that opt to participate and have school nurses trained in the program. Starting in the 2025-2026 school year, each school district would be allowed to develop and implement a stop the bleed program in collaboration with local law enforcement, requiring the placement of bleed control kits in accessible locations, inclusion in safety plans, and annual inspections of the kits. The bill also defines what constitutes a bleed control kit and specifies the contents required.

Additionally, the bill appropriates $180,000 from the state general fund for the fiscal year 2025-2026 to support the purchase of these kits and exempts this appropriation from lapsing provisions. The section establishing the program is set to be repealed after December 31, 2028. Overall, the bill introduces new provisions for emergency preparedness in schools while maintaining existing statutes unchanged.
