Establishes provisions governing health and safety measures in public schools

HB 844 requires all public school campuses to install FDA-approved automated external defibrillators (AEDs) by the 2026-27 school year and mandates that school personnel receive initial and annual training in AED use and CPR. The bill directly affects public schools and their staff, specifying that AEDs must be placed in high-traffic areas like gyms and cafeterias, meet technical standards (including automatic data collection), and be maintained annually by qualified technicians. It also establishes protocols for emergency response, including immediate CPR and defibrillation within 3-5 minutes of cardiac arrest. The legislation aims to improve emergency response to cardiac incidents in school settings without altering existing curriculum or student activities.
