AI Summary
This bill amends Georgia's laws regarding the placement and maintenance of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in public high schools and requires public schools to develop and implement cardiac emergency response plans (CERPs). Specifically, the bill mandates that by July 1, 2025, all public high schools with interscholastic athletics programs must have one or more AEDs as directed by their CERP. The CERP must incorporate evidence-based guidelines, establish a cardiac emergency response team, outline training for personnel, and involve local healthcare and emergency management agencies. The bill also allows public schools to seek state funding assistance for the purchase and installation of safety equipment, including AEDs.
