This bill mandates that all public and nonpublic schools in New Jersey must have at least one portable FDA-approved anti-choking device available in key locations such as the cafeteria and the school nurse's office. These devices must be placed in unlocked and easily accessible areas during school hours and at school-sponsored events, with appropriate signage indicating their locations. A portable anti-choking device is defined as a medical device that uses manually created suction to clear airway blockages during choking emergencies, provided it has received FDA approval.

Additionally, the bill requires each school board and governing body to develop policies for the use of these devices, which must include training for school nurses and employees in airway management and the proper use of the devices. The Commissioner of Education is tasked with ensuring that annual training opportunities are available for school staff. To support the implementation of these requirements, the Department of Education will reimburse schools for associated costs and may accept contributions from private or nonprofit entities to help cover these expenses.
