(Sacramento) – Recent studies show an astounding number of high school athletes are suffering sudden cardiac arrests. Assemblymember Freddie Rodriguez (D-Pomona) knows some of those children’s lives could be saved if more people knew CPR. Assemblymember Rodriguez has introduced Assembly Bill 319 to require students to learn CPR as a high school graduation requirement. Students would be taught compression-only CPR, which is CPR without mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Its sometimes called “hands only CPR.” “Teaching CPR as part of a high school class such as Health or PE will put more lifesavers in our community year after year,” said Assemblymember Rodriguez.
