Council Member Kristy Marmorato introduces a bill requiring all schools (public, private, and charter) to stock airway clearing devices. The bill is inspired by her grandfather's death from choking in 1992 and aims to safeguard children's lives.

  • The bill is co-primed by Council Member Paladino, who is also a mother.
  • Marmorato expresses that this measure would provide a second line of defense against choking in schools.
  • She thanks Nadia Francois for helping to bring this vision into reality.
