Stop the Bleed Act mandates bleeding control kits in West Virginia schools and training for staff.

The Stop the Bleed Act requires county boards of education to implement a bleeding control program in schools starting in the 2026-2027 school year. This includes designating bleeding control kits in classrooms and common areas, incorporating these kits into emergency plans, and providing training for faculty and staff. The kits must be inspected annually and restocked after each use. The act also immunizes school personnel from civil liability for using the kits, except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
