  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Section 804-c of the education law, as added by chapter 269

  S 804-c. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation  instruction.  1.  Instructions
regarding  cardiopulmonary  resuscitation  [may]  SHALL  be [offered for
voluntary admission as] a part  of  the  health  education  OR  PHYSICAL
EDUCATION  curriculum  in  all  senior  high  schools.    INSTRUCTION IN
CARDIOPULMONARY  RESUSCITATION  MAY  BE  LIMITED  TO  PSYCHOMOTOR  SKILL
INSTRUCTION AND MAY INCLUDE THE COMPLETION OF A CERTIFIED COURSE, HOWEV-
ER STUDENT CERTIFICATION SHALL NOT BE MANDATORY TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS

ication  by  an agency offering such certification in the performance of
cardiopulmonary  resuscitation  [and  in  its  instruction].    FOR  THE
PURPOSES  OF  THIS  SECTION,  "PSYCHOMOTOR  SKILL" SHALL MEAN THE USE OF
HANDS ONLY PRACTICING TO SUPPORT COGNITIVE LEARNING.
  2. The commissioner [may] SHALL prescribe regulations  governing  such
health  education  AND  PHYSICAL  EDUCATION  courses which shall include
instruction in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Such regulations shall  in
no  event  prescribe  a course of study in cardiopulmonary resuscitation

quality than [the requirements of the programs adopted by  the  American
Heart  Association  or the American Red Cross] ACCEPTED STANDARDS IN THE
