A bill for an act establishing the school health-related emergency response plan competitive grant program within the department of education, making appropriations, and including applicability provisions.

This bill establishes a competitive grant program within Iowa's Department of Education to help schools develop cardiac emergency response plans. It directly affects all Iowa schools, including public school districts, nonpublic accredited schools, and charter schools, by requiring them to meet specific safety standards to qualify for funding. Key provisions mandate schools receiving grants to implement response teams, place AEDs within three minutes of cardiac incidents, maintain equipment, provide staff training in CPR/AED use, conduct annual drills, and coordinate with emergency services. The grants are designed to supplement existing funding, not replace it, and apply to school years starting July 1, 2027.
