House Floor Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the provisions of the introduced bill, and makes the following changes. In the Interscholastic Athletic Organization Act, requires all paid school head coaches or chief sponsors of the activity (rather than all school coaches) to obtain and maintain certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), first aid, and the use of an automatic external defibrillator (AED). In the School Safety Drill Act, requires a cardiac emergency response plan to include training on symptom and warning signs of sudden cardiac arrest, hands-only CPR, and use of AEDs (rather than information on hands-only CPR and use of AEDs) and establishing a cardiac emergency response team trained in CPR and the use of an AED consistent with national evidence-based emergency cardiovascular care guidelines, and provides that cardiac response drills may be conducted without student participation.
