Requires DOH to create and disseminate materials and resources related to cardiomyopathy.*

The $300,000 appropriation from the General Fund to the Department of Health (former Section 8) was struck entirely, removing the dedicated state funding for implementing the act.

Section 7, which required DOH to use available federal funds before utilizing state appropriated funds, was struck. This is consistent with the removal of the appropriation.

The grant program in Section 6a was changed from mandatory to discretionary: the Commissioner 'shall award grants' became 'may award grants,' removing the obligation to fund AED and CPR programs in schools.

Two new items were added to the Section 3a report: (3) ongoing cardiomyopathy-focused research efforts of DOH, and (4) a research agenda regarding adult forms of cardiomyopathy, plans for pediatric research, and areas of greatest need. These were moved from the struck Section 5b annual report.

Section 5b, which required an annual report to the Governor and Legislature on DOH's ongoing research efforts and a research agenda, was struck entirely. Its content was folded into the less frequent Section 3a report.

The initial report deadline was extended from 10 months after enactment to 18 months after enactment, and the recurring reporting frequency was reduced from annual to every five years.
