Title

Public and nonpublic schools, sudden cardiac arrest, required to develop and implement cardiac emergency response plan

Description

Under existing law each student athlete and his or her parent must sign and return a form acknowledging the receipt and review of an information sheet about the warning signs of sudden cardiac arrest.

Also under existing law, each coach of an athletic activity must complete a training course about cardiac arrest, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED).

This bill would require each local board of education and governing body of a nonpublic school to develop and implement a cardiac emergency response plan.

This bill would require the plan to include appropriate AED placement within each school, staff training, and other recommendations of the American Heart Association or another similar group.

This bill would also authorize the State Board of Education to adopt rules relating to cardiac emergency response plans.
