Requires youth sports team coaches to undergo cardio-pulmonary resuscitation and other first aid training.
This bill (A4346) requires all coaches of youth sports teams in New Jersey to obtain certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid. It directly affects coaches working with youth athletes under age 18, including those on nonprofit or recreation department-affiliated teams. The key provision mandates that coaches must hold a certificate issued by the Commissioner of Health, which requires completing approved CPR and first aid training. The law takes effect seven months after enactment, ensuring coaches are trained in life-saving measures before supervising youth sports activities.
