Massachusetts S1619 mandates trauma kits in public buildings to aid in emergency bleeding control.

Massachusetts S1619, known as the Massachusetts Trauma Response Preparedness Act, requires public buildings to have trauma kits readily available. These kits must contain items such as tourniquets, gauze, gloves, and a training booklet. The number of kits per building is determined by a formula based on the building's maximum capacity, developed by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Public buildings include government facilities and those with a maximum occupancy of at least 300 people, such as schools, places of worship, and entertainment venues.
