This bill mandates the establishment of guidelines by the Department of Health (DOH) for the placement of bleeding control kits in State buildings and requires public and nonpublic schools to acquire these kits. A "bleeding control kit" is defined as a first aid response kit designed to control severe bleeding and prevent further blood loss for individuals suffering traumatic injuries. The Commissioner of Health is tasked with issuing these guidelines within 180 days of the bill's effective date, which will include specifications for the contents of the kits, their replacement after use, and their placement in proximity to automated external defibrillators.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that by the next school year or 180 days after the effective date, whichever is later, all public and nonpublic schools serving grades K-12 must ensure that a bleeding control kit is available in an unlocked location on school property, clearly marked for identification. The kits must also be accessible during school hours and at school-sponsored athletic events. The contents of the kits are to be determined by the Commissioner of Health and must include essential items such as a tourniquet, chest seal, and instructional materials for preventing blood loss.
