EDUCATION – Adds to existing law to require public schools to adopt sudden cardiac arrest prevention training.
Idaho's H 313 requires all public schools and charter schools to implement sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) prevention measures. It mandates annual acknowledgment forms signed by students and parents/guardians about SCA symptoms (like fainting, chest pain, or racing heart during activity), provides symptom education materials, and requires coaches to complete SCA training every even-numbered school year. Schools must remove students showing SCA symptoms during athletic activities and ensure they receive medical clearance before returning. The bill applies directly to public school students, coaches, and school staff involved in athletic programs. It takes effect July 1, 2025.
