AI Summary
This bill amends two existing laws to improve cardiac emergency preparedness in schools. Under the Interscholastic Athletic Organization Act, the bill requires all paid school head coaches or chief activity sponsors to obtain and maintain certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), first aid, and use of an automated external defibrillator (AED), with certifications aligned with national emergency cardiovascular care guidelines. The bill also modifies the School Safety Drill Act to strengthen cardiac emergency response plans (CERP) in schools, mandating that these plans include detailed procedures for responding to sudden cardiac arrest, a comprehensive listing of AEDs with clear markings and proper maintenance, training for staff on recognizing cardiac arrest symptoms and performing CPR, establishing a trained cardiac emergency response team, and conducting annual cardiac response drills in partnership with local emergency medical services. The goal of these changes is to improve schools' ability to quickly and effectively respond to life-threatening cardiac emergencies, potentially saving lives through improved preparedness and training.
