Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Bill HB 755 now specifies that schools must provide portable airway clearance devices starting from the 2024-2025 school year instead of the previous 2023-2024. This delay gives schools extra time to prepare for the requirement, which is important for ensuring student safety in case of airway emergencies. Additionally, the amendment clarifies that training on using the devices will also be made available to all school staff who wish to learn, promoting a broader understanding of airway management in schools.
