Requires youth sports team coaches to undergo cardio-pulmonary resuscitation and other first aid training.

S 3198 requires youth sports coaches to complete cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid training and obtain a certificate from the New Jersey Commissioner of Health. The bill applies to coaches of youth sports teams for children under 18, defined as teams organized by nonprofits or local recreation departments. Coaches must hold this certificate to serve, and the Commissioner of Health will establish the specific training requirements and issue certificates to qualified individuals. The law takes effect seven months after enactment.
