Requiring all schools to stock airway clearance devices, and to repeal section two of such local law upon the expiration thereof.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring all schools to stock airway clearance devices, and to repeal section two of such local law upon the expiration thereof

This bill would require all schools to stock airway clearance devices within 180 days after (1) airway clearance devices receive authorization from the FDA for use as choking-rescue devices during choking emergencies for school aged children, and (2) either the American Heart Association or the American Red Cross issues choking-rescue protocols that recommend the use of airway clearance devices during choking emergencies for school aged children. Additionally, for each school year, this bill would require the Department of Education to report the number of airway clearance devices made available in each school building and the number of instances airway clearance devices were used during an emergency, disaggregated by school building.
