Michigan Trauma Coalition continues to advocate for Stop the Bleed training and awareness with our State Legislators as well as changes to the Good Samaritan Law to include bleeding control.   Currently, Senate Bills are Michigan Senate Bill 590 and Michigan Senate Bill 591—which amend the state’s Good Samaritan Law to include bleeding control— summarized here. These bills have passed the Michigan Senate and are now under consideration in the Michigan House of Representatives.

Representative Dave Prestin introduced a resolution to signify it as Stop the Bleed Day on May 21, 2026.  View the recording here.

Please continue to advocate with state legislators on the importance of Stop the Bleed Training for our high school students, community members as well as amending the Good Samaritan Law.
