Sudden Cardiac Arrest Law for Youth Athletes, House Bill 1610:
Like the concussion law, the newly approved measure requires that any student-athlete who exhibits symptoms of sudden cardiac arrest during an athletic activitybe removed from play immediately. Furthermore, a student-athlete must be heldout of all athletic activities if he or she exhibits any signs of cardiac arrest before orafter an event.
Under the new law, coaches must complete an annual training course about suddencardiac arrest, and cannot coach an athletic activity until they complete the training.The exact requirements will be posted on the State Department of Health's websitewithin the next few weeks.. A coach, intramural activity coordinator, supervisoror volunteer shall not coach an athletic activity until the coach completes thetraining course and provides proof to the SCASD athletic department.
These are state mandated laws and anyone involved in any school-sponsoredactivity MUST COMPLY.
