According to the committee and legislative actions, the measure did not advance and is currently Dead.

Purpose and Intent

  • The bill’s title indicates its aim: to require the presence of bleeding control kits in state-owned buildings. Bleeding control kits typically provide equipment (such as tourniquets and dressings) intended to enable bystanders to provide first aid in life-threatening bleeding situations until professional medical care arrives.
  • Specific contents, placement requirements, maintenance responsibilities, training obligations, signage, inventory standards, and enforcement mechanisms are not provided in the available summary.

Key Provisions (as indicated by available information)

  • Require bleeding control kits to be located in state-owned buildings. Exact scope (which buildings, placement locations, quantity, and accessibility) is not specified in the provided materials.
  • No detailed provisions on maintenance, inspections, replacement schedules, training for building staff or occupants, reporting requirements, or penalties are included in the summary.

Affected Parties

  • State government agencies and employees who manage or operate state-owned buildings.
  • Building occupants and visitors to state-owned facilities, who would potentially benefit from access to bleeding control kits.

  • 2025-05-21: Pursuant to Joint Rule 310.3, Placed in Legislative Files (DEAD).

Status and Next Steps

  • The bill has been deemed dead for the current session and remains in legislative files. If desired, sponsors could potentially reintroduce a similar measure in a future session, subject to any changes in sponsor support or committee priorities.

Potential Impact (high-level considerations)

  • Public safety: If enacted, could enhance emergency response readiness in state facilities by providing immediate bleeding control resources before EMS arrival.
  • Operational considerations: State facilities would need to establish kit placement, maintenance, inspections, and potential staff training requirements; budgetary implications would need to be addressed.
  • Equity and access: Ensuring kits are accessible in all state-owned buildings would be essential to achieve the intended safety benefits.
