Summary
The bill requires every public and nonpublic school in New Jersey to keep at least one FDA‑registered portable anti‑choking device in the cafeteria, nurse’s office, and similar locations, and to train staff on its use. School boards must adopt policies for device use, and the Department of Education will reimburse the costs. The goal is to improve emergency response to choking incidents on school grounds.
