Public access automated external defibrillator smart monitored cabinets funding provided, report required, and money appropriated.

HF 3765 appropriates $6.5 million to fund smart monitored automated external defibrillator (AED) cabinets for Minnesota school districts. The bill provides grants to purchase, install, and maintain up to 1,400 cabinets - each costing $4,500 - which include AEDs, bleeding kits, naloxone, and 4 years of monitoring. School districts receiving funds must place cabinets in publicly accessible locations, cover maintenance for four years without additional state funds, and comply with Minnesota's public access AED requirements. The Minnesota State High School League will administer the program and report to legislators by October 2027 on grant allocations and cabinet installations.
