BILL NUMBER: S2996

SPONSOR: GAUGHRAN
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the education law and the public health law, in relation
to directing the commissioners of education and health to establish
rules and regulations for the treatment and monitoring of students of
school districts, boards of cooperative educational services and nonpub-
lic schools who exhibit signs or symptoms of sudden cardiac arrest

 
PURPOSE:

This legislation would establish the Dominic Murray sudden cardiac
arrest (SCA) prevention act.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 2 amends Section 206 of the public health law by adding subdivi-
sion 31 to require the commissioner to develop information to be
reviewed by the Commissioner of Education relating to pupil's exhibiting

SCA symptoms and provide for the posting on the department's official
website.

Section 3 of this bill adds a new Section 923 to the education law to
direct the Commissioner of education to review the information created
by the Department of Health relating to pupils who exhibit signs or
symptoms of SCA. Such information will be posted on the Department's
website. The Commissioner of Education will promulgate rules and regu-
lations that authorize school districts, at their discretion, to estab-
lish a SCA management team.

Section 4 and 5 amend the education law to require coaches at both
public and nonpublic schools to be certified for CPR-AED skills.

Section 6 specifies this act shall take effect on the first of July next
succeeding the date on which it shall have become law, provided that,
effective immediately, any rules and regulations necessary to implement
the provisions of this act on its effective date are authorized and
directed to be completed on or before such date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is the leading cause of death among school
athletes. It can happen at anytime, anywhere without warning. On October
5th, 2009, just weeks into his freshman year, 17 year old Dominic Murray
suffered a sudden cardiac arrest and collapsed on the basketball court
at Farmingdale State College. In the middle of a routine layup,
Dominic's heart stopped suddenly. His symptoms went unrecognized by all
around him. Every minute counts to save someone in sudden cardiac
arrest. What happened to Dominic and many other young athletes can be
prevented by informing and educating our coaches, pupils, and parents.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

S1297 of 2017-18

S7848 of 2016

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the first of July next succeeding the date
on which it shall have become law, provided that, effective immediately,
any rules and regulations necessary to implement the provisions of this
act on its effective date are authorized and directed to be completed on
or before such date.

BILL NUMBER: S2996A

SPONSOR: GAUGHRAN
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the public health law and the education law, in relation
to directing the commissioners of education and health to establish
rules and regulations for the treatment and monitoring of students of
school districts, boards of cooperative educational services and nonpub-
lic schools who exhibit signs or symptoms of pending or increased risk
of sudden cardiac arrest

 
PURPOSE:

This legislation would establish the Dominic Murray Sudden Cardiac
Arrest Prevention Act.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 contains the short title of the act.

Section 2 amends section 206 of the public health law by adding subdivi-
sion 31 to require the Commissioner of Health to develop information to
be reviewed by the Commissioner of Education, relating to pupil's exhib-
iting signs or symptoms of pending or increased risk of sudden cardiac
arrest, and provide for the posting of the information on the depart-
ment's official website.

Section 3 of this bill adds a new Section 923 to the education law to
direct the Commissioner of Education to review the information created
by the Department of Health relating to pupils who exhibit signs or
symptoms of pending or increased risk of sudden cardiac arrest. Such
information will be posted on the Department's website, included in
permission form, consent form or similar document that may be required
for a student's participation in interscholastic athletics. The Commis-
sioner of Education will promulgate rules and regulations that authorize
school districts, at their discretion, to establish a SCA management
team.

Section 4 and 5 amend the education law to make conforming changes to
the statute governing the training required by coaches.  Commissioner's
Regulation Part 135.5 already requires that all coaches be trained in
First Aid and Adult CPR/AED Skills. The Commissioner's Regulations have
also expanded the eligible list of training agencies beyond the American
Red Cross. This section merely conforms statute with regulation.

Section 6 specifies this act shall take effect on the first of July next
succeeding the date on which it shall have become law, provided that,
effective immediately, any rules and regulations necessary to implement
the provisions of this act on its effective date are authorized and
directed to be completed on or before such date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is the leading cause of death among school
athletes. As many as 7,000 to 10,000 young people die from SCA every
year. On October 5th, 2009, Dominic Murray (age 17), suffered a sudden
cardiac arrest and collapsed on the court during a basketball game just
weeks in to his Freshman Year at Farmingdale State College.  His sudden
cardiac arrest symptoms went unrecognized by all around him. SCA is a
life or death emergency. For every minute that passes without cardiopul-
monary resuscitation (CPR) and use of an automated external defibrilla-
tor (AED), the victim sustains a 10% loss of a chance of survival.

What happened to Dominic and many other young athletes can be prevented
by informing and educating our coaches, pupils, and parents about SCA.
As our children spend a significant amount of time in school and partic-
ipating in school related activities, it is critical for schools to
educate students and their families about SCA and its signs and symp-
toms. The Dominic Murray Sudden Cardiac Arrest Prevention Act is neces-
sary in order to fill this void.

Current law, together with Part 135.5 of the Commissioner's Regulations,
already require that coaches at both public and non-public schools be
trained in first aid, adult cardiopulmonary resuscitation and use of
automated external defibrillator.  All materials required by this legis-
lation will be compiled by the State. The development of a sudden cardi-
ac arrest management team would be at the option of the school district.

Similar legislation has been enacted in Pennsylvania, Indiana, New
Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Maryland, North
Carolina, Florida, Washington, Ohio, California, and Georgia.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

S1297 of 2017-18 S7848 of 2016

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

Minimal given all coaches are already required to take first aid, adult
cardiopulmonary resuscitation and use of an automated external defibril-
lator training.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the first of July next succeeding the date
on which it shall have become law, provided that, effective immediately,
any rules and regulations necessary to implement the provisions of this
act on its effective date are authorized and directed to be completed on
or before such date.
