HB 416 Alabama House · 2025 Regular Session

Sudden cardiac arrest; placement of AEDs on school property and at sporting events, further provided for

HB 416 revises requirements for the placement of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) on school property. The bill mandates that AEDs be clearly marked and easily accessible in all athletic event spaces on school grounds, such as gymnasiums, practice fields, and weight rooms, whenever students, athletes, or staff are present. It also requires AEDs to be available at any school-sponsored athletic event or activity. This aims to ensure readiness for sudden cardiac arrest for students, athletes, and staff in these school settings.
