Bill Summary

Requires schools to establish cardiac emergency response plans

AI Summary

This bill requires public schools in Missouri to establish cardiac emergency response plans starting in the 2025-26 school year. The plans must address the appropriate use of school personnel to respond to incidents involving sudden cardiac arrest or similar life-threatening emergencies on the school campus, including during extracurricular and school-sponsored events. The plans must integrate evidence-based guidelines, such as those from the American Heart Association, and coordinate with local emergency services providers. The bill also requires schools to have automated external defibrillators (AEDs) placed appropriately and to train designated school personnel in first aid, CPR, and AED use.
