AN ACT AUTHORIZING BONDS OF THE STATE FOR THE PURCHASE OF AUTOMATIC EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATORS AT SCHOOLS.

SB 600 authorizes the state to issue up to $250,000 in bonds to fund grants for public schools to purchase automatic external defibrillators (AEDs), life-saving devices used during cardiac emergencies. The Department of Education would distribute the funds as grants-in-aid to schools, directly supporting school safety by enabling access to AEDs. This bill creates a specific funding mechanism for AED procurement without altering school requirements or adding new mandates.
