Amends TCA Title 49, Chapter 1; Title 49, Chapter 2 and Title 49, Chapter 6.

This bill authorizes LEAs to develop and implement, beginning with the 2021-2022 school year, a "Stop the Bleed" program in consultation with local law enforcement. The program may be implemented in each school and, if implemented, must require:<br /> <br /> (1) That at least one bleeding control kit is placed in an easily accessible location within each school. The full text of this bill specifies seven contents that must be included in each bleeding control kit;<br /> <br /> (2) That bleeding control kits are included in the district-level safety plans and building-level emergency response plans;<br /> <br /> (3) That all LEA employees receive training on how to use the bleeding control kit;<br /> <br /> (4) An annual inspection of each bleeding control kit;<br /> <br /> (5) An annual school presentation demonstrating where to locate, and how to use, the items contained in a bleeding control kit; and <br /> <br /> (6) School officials to replace, as necessary, any expired or missing materials, supplies, or equipment required for a bleeding control kit.<br /> <br /> This bill provides immunity from civil liability to LEAs, schools, and LEA employees for any personal injury that results from an act or omission of an individual to control bleeding using a bleeding control kit, that does not amount to willful or wanton misconduct or gross negligence, if the "Stop the Bleed" program developed by the LEA and implemented in the school complies with the requirements of (1)-(6) above. <br /> <br /> This bill classifies misuse or abuse of a bleeding control kit on school property by a student as disorderly conduct, which will subject the student to disciplinary action. <br />
