Today, July 21st, I joined Newburyport High School student Madeleine Jackman, as well as, Kyle McWilliam-Lopez, the Executive Director of the Northeastern Chapter of the American Red Cross of Massachusetts on a panel providing testimony in support of my CPR legislation (S.456) I sponsored this session at the Joint Committee on Education's Public Hearing in Gardner Auditorium.
📃S.456, An Act requiring instruction in CPR and the use of defibrillators for high school graduation which would make CPR certification a high school graduation requirement.
Thank you to constituent and co-sponsor of this bill, Madeleine Elizabeth Jackman, whose personal story inspired S.456.
Thank you also to Kyle McWilliam-Lopez and the American Red Cross for their advocacy and support of our efforts to expand this life-saving emergency medical certification to include CPR as a graduation requirement for high school students in Massachusetts.
