Relating to: requiring cardiac emergency response plans for cardiac emergencies that occur on school property or at school-sponsored athletic events. (FE)
SB 317 requires all Wisconsin public schools and charter schools to develop written cardiac emergency response plans by the 2027-28 school year. These plans must include core elements like response teams, AED maintenance details, annual drills, and staff training in CPR/AED use following national guidelines (e.g., American Heart Association). High schools must additionally require coaches to maintain current CPR/AED certification. Schools are not mandated to purchase AEDs, but must plan for their use if available. The law specifically targets cardiac emergencies occurring on school property or at school-sponsored athletic events.
