AI Summary
This bill requires that beginning August 1, 2027, every school district and charter school in Arizona must ensure at least one employee at each school completes training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), first aid, and the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs), following nationally recognized guidelines. An AED is a portable device that can analyze the heart's rhythm and deliver an electrical shock to help it resume a normal beat. The bill also maintains existing requirements for public schools with ninth through twelfth graders that sponsor athletic teams or programs to provide an AED at each campus and athletic event, ensuring it is accessible, maintained, and compliant with national emergency cardiovascular care guidelines. Additionally, schools can accept donations for AED purposes, and the bill clarifies the definition of a "school-sponsored athletic event" to include practices, trainings, and competitions.
