This bill mandates that school districts in New Jersey, specifically those serving grades nine through twelve, include instruction on bleed control within their health curriculum. This requirement is part of the districts' implementation of the New Jersey Student Learning Standards in Comprehensive Health and Physical Education. To fulfill this mandate, school boards have the option to choose a no-cost, non-certification instructional program.

The bill is set to take effect immediately and will be applicable in the first full school year following its enactment. This initiative aims to enhance students' knowledge and skills in emergency response, particularly in situations involving severe bleeding, thereby promoting safety and preparedness among high school students.
