What’s in it
AI summary By the end of sixth grade, students in Iowa public and private schools must complete a course on how to control bleeding. Students can skip this requirement if they already have a certificate from an approved program or if a school administrator grants a waiver for physical reasons.1
Read the official explanation
This bill requires every student by the end of grade to successfully complete a certification course for bleeding control developed by the American college of surgeons committee on trauma or the department of public health, though a student who presents satisfactory evidence to the school district or accredited nonpublic school that the student possesses certification for completing such a course is exempt from the requirement. The school administrator may waive the requirement for a student who is not physically able to successfully complete the certification course. 3.16.2. The inclusion of this specification is intended to reinstate the requirement of political subdivisions to comply with any state mandates included in the bill. The provisions of the bill relating to bleeding control certification apply to school years beginning on or after July 1, 2021.
