Requires schools to establish cardiac emergency response plans

HB 232 requires Missouri public schools to create and implement cardiac emergency response plans starting in the 2026-27 school year. The bill directly affects all public schools, mandating they establish response teams, place AEDs in accessible locations (especially at athletic venues), provide annual CPR/AED training for staff, and conduct practice drills. Key provisions include integrating plans with local emergency services, ensuring AEDs are available within three minutes during school activities, and following evidence-based standards from groups like the American Heart Association. The law aims to improve response to sudden cardiac arrest incidents on school campuses.
