Sec. 20. (a) As used in this section, "charter school" does not include a virtual charter school, as defined in IC 20-24-1-10.
(b) As used in this section, "psychomotor skills" means skills using hands on practice to support cognitive learning.
(c) Except as provided in subsection (f), each school corporation, charter school, and accredited nonpublic school shall include in the charter school's, school corporation's, or accredited nonpublic school's high school health education curriculum instruction in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and use of an automated external defibrillator for its students. The instruction must incorporate the psychomotor skills necessary to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation and use an automated external defibrillator and must include either of the following:
(1) An instructional program developed by the American Heart Association or the American Red Cross.
(2) An instructional program that is nationally recognized and is based on the most current national evidence based emergency cardiovascular care guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the use of an automated external defibrillator.
(d) A school corporation, charter school, or an accredited nonpublic school may offer the instruction required in subsection (c) or may arrange for the instruction to be provided by available community based providers. The instruction is not required to be provided by a teacher. If instruction is provided by a teacher, the teacher is not required to be a certified trainer of cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
(e) This section shall not be construed to require a student to become certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the use of an automated external defibrillator. However, if a school corporation, charter school, or accredited nonpublic school chooses to offer a course that results in certification being earned, the course must be taught by an instructor authorized to provide the instruction by the American Heart Association, the American Red Cross, or a similar nationally recognized association.
(f) A school administrator may waive the requirement that a student receive instruction under subsection (c) if the student has a disability or is physically unable to perform the psychomotor skill component of the instruction required under subsection (c).
