This bill requires the department of education to prepare a report that includes information related to the number of schools that have adopted and implemented a cardiac emergency response plan and the number of automated external defibrillators owned by each school and where each automated external defibrillator is located on such school’s property. The department of education is required to submit the report to the general assembly on or before January 15, 2027. The bill defines “automated external defibrillator”, “cardiac emergency response plan”, and “school”.

Why it matters. The department of education would be required to create a report for the general assembly detailing how many schools have implemented cardiac emergency response plans.
