Feel free to use parts or all of the following paragraph.
This bill fixes the major problem with Oregon's grade school emergency procedures for CPR by making CPR certification a requirement for Grade School: teachers, full time employees, and lunch room staff. This bill will shift the current guidelines in grade school from an Adult CPR model to a Child CPR model. Children need immediate CPR the moment they collapse to the floor. This bill will ensure children get appropriate care. The bill only costs between $360,000 and $420,000 every 2 years to get Child CPR into all Grade Schools in Oregon.
