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.
