New Jersey S1123 mandates portable anti-choking devices in schools.
New Jersey S1123 requires public and nonpublic schools to ensure at least one portable anti-choking device is available in the cafeteria, school nurse’s office, and other similar locations. These devices, which use manually created suction to remove blockage from a person’s airway during a choking emergency, must be placed in unlocked and easily accessible locations during school hours and events. The bill also mandates annual educational opportunities for school nurses and employees on airway management and device use.
