                                BILL NUMBER:S6229

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the education law, in relation to
cardiopulmonary resuscitation training

PURPOSE:  To develop a training video for hands-only cardiopulmonary
resuscitation and automated external defibrillator's and to provide
for the dissemination of such video.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 amends the Education Law by adding a new section 804-e.
Section 804-e requires the New York State Education Department in
conjunction with the Department of Health to consult with the American
Red Cross and the American Heart Association on the development of a
training video for hands only cardiopulmonary resuscitation and
automated external defibrillators. The video shall be accessible
through the website of the New York State Public High School Athletic
Association and via a link from the school district's website. Parents
and staff shall be notified of the video and encouraged to watch it
through correspondence currently published by the school district.

Section 2 provides that this act shall take effect immediately.

JUSTIFICATION:  This bill is necessary to raise awareness of hands
only cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated external

defibrillators.  Although much has been done to raise awareness,
development of this training video will serve as an additional
resource. It will focus on providing information to the parents and
teachers of students.

It is important that parents and teachers receive this information
because of the risk and incidence of sudden cardiac arrest among
student athletes, in particular. Sadly, if not treated quickly and
correctly, sudden cardiac arrest is fatal. Therefore, this bill is
necessary to save lives and increase awareness about the need to treat
sudden cardiac arrest immediately and properly.

This bill does not impose a new or additional cost on local school
districts. Rather, it requires the use of state funds and outside
grants to develop the video. Furthermore, this bill requires that
school districts notify parents and staff through correspondence
currently published by the school district. It does not require that
new correspondence be developed.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New Bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: Minimal.

EFFECTIVE DATE:  This act shall take effect immediately.
