Cardiovascular prescreenings for students required.

This bill requires licensed health care professionals to perform cardiovascular prescreenings for student athletes and all students beginning in the 2028-2029 school year. The screenings must follow evidence-based guidelines and check for heart conditions such as abnormal blood pressure, known cardiac issues, and signs of structural heart disease, with positive results leading to cardiologist referrals. The Department of Health will publish annual reports on screening numbers and outcomes, while the Department of Education and Health will distribute educational materials to families about sudden cardiac arrest risks. Additionally, the bill mandates professional training for health care providers on conducting these screenings and establishing rules to implement the program.
