AI Summary

This bill requires all high school and middle school athletic coaches and assistant coaches in Minnesota, employed by school districts or charter schools, to get and keep up-to-date training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), which is a medical procedure to restore breathing and heartbeat, and in the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED), a portable device that can shock a person's heart back into rhythm. This training must be renewed at least every two years and follow national guidelines. The bill also provides legal protection for coaches who use CPR or an AED while working, stating they won't be held responsible for damages unless their actions were extremely negligent or intentionally harmful. This new requirement will take effect starting with the 2027-2028 school year.
