Kentucky HB335 mandates training for school staff on anti-choking devices and grants immunity from civil liability for those using them in.

Kentucky HB335, also known as Landon's Law, requires schools to ensure that cafeteria staff and other expected users of anti-choking devices receive training on the Heimlich maneuver and the device's use. The bill defines an anti-choking device as a portable suction device registered with the FDA. It grants immunity from civil liability for those using these devices or the Heimlich maneuver in emergencies, provided they act as a reasonable person would. This immunity does not apply if the injury results from gross negligence or willful misconduct.
