No. 4066H.02C Bill No. HCS for HB 1722 Page 3 of March 6, 2022 JLH:LR:OD FISCAL ANALYSIS ASSUMPTION Officials from Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) state, subject to appropriation, the total cost to implement the bleeding control kids would be $340,725. The cost per bleeding control kit is estimated at $35 each. The number buildings in Missouri is 2,391. The department estimates 4 kits per building (auditorium, library, gymnasiums, and cafeterias) at a minimum number of kits is estimated to be around 9,564. Additional kits to be required at the career-technical centers (57) at a minimum of three per center is estimated to be approximately 171. Officials from the Department of Public Safety - Office of the Director and the Department of Social Services each assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their respective organizations. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note for these agencies. In response to a similar proposal, HCS HB 1991 (2020), officials from the Maries County R-1 School District assumed the cost would be approximately $69.99 per classroom: $68.99 for the Curaplex Stop the Bleed Kit and $1.00 for the Emergency Thermal Blanket (10 for $9.95). Fifty five spaces would need one in their school, it would cost them $3,849.45 to put them in. They would have to replace the kits when they expire. Oversight assumes the requirements in this proposal are subject to an appropriation by the General Assembly that would cover all costs. Oversight notes DESE estimated the cost to provide bleeding control kits at $340,725. Oversight assumes kits will not be used frequently, so restocking and annual training costs will be shown as ‘could exceed ($100,000)’ in future years.

FISCAL DESCRIPTION This bill creates the "Stop the Bleed Act", defines "bleeding control kits" and requires the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to develop a traumatic blood loss protocol for school personal by January 1, 2023. The bill outlines the specific requirements for the blood loss protocol which shall include a bleeding control kit be placed in areas where there is likely to be high traffic or congregation, and areas where risk of injury may be elevated. Additionally, each district must designate a school nurse or school health care provider, or if no school nurse or school health care provider is available, a school personnel member to receive annual training on the use of a blood control kit. The bill requires DESE and each school district and charter school to maintain information regarding the traumatic blood loss protocol and the Stop the Bleed national awareness campaign on their respective websites. This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space. L.R.
