This bill mandates the installation of trauma kits in public schools and allocates funding for this initiative through the establishment of a trauma kit fund. Specifically, it amends RSA 153-A:33-a to include public schools in the requirement for trauma kits, which must contain essential first aid items such as tourniquets and bleeding control bandages. The Department of Administrative Services, in collaboration with the Department of Safety's Bureau of Emergency Medical Services, is tasked with determining the number of trauma kits needed per school and prioritizing their placement. Additionally, the bill establishes a nonlapsing trauma kit fund to support the procurement and distribution of these kits, with an initial appropriation of $25,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the parental bill of rights regarding student media recordings by repealing and reenacting RSA 189-B:4, I(p). The new language specifies that parental written consent is not required for certain types of recordings, including those made during court proceedings, forensic interviews, safety demonstrations, and school-sponsored events open to the public. This change aims to clarify the circumstances under which recordings can be made without parental consent, thereby streamlining the process for schools while still respecting parental rights.
