Requiring cardiac emergency response plans at all recreational youth facilities, including the placement of automatic external defibrillators.
SB 377 requires all public and private recreational youth facilities (like pools, camps, gyms, and after-school programs for children under 18) to adopt comprehensive cardiac emergency response plans. These plans must include placing automatic external defibrillators (AEDs), establishing response teams, defining staff roles during cardiac emergencies, and mandating annual staff training and plan reviews. The bill excludes school district facilities and licensed daycares, which are covered under separate existing laws. Facilities must maintain AEDs, rehearse responses yearly, and coordinate with local emergency services per statewide standards.
