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

This bill requires public and nonpublic schools in Alabama to create and follow a written plan for responding to sudden cardiac arrest emergencies. The plan must include guidelines for placing automated external defibrillators, establishing emergency response teams, and ensuring staff receive regular training in CPR and AED use. Additionally, schools must practice these emergency procedures through drills and review their plans annually to ensure they remain effective. The legislation also mandates that schools coordinate with local emergency services to integrate their response plans into broader community medical protocols.
