A committee substitute expanding cardiac-arrest response requirements to elementary schools and youth sports played on school grounds was agreed to by the committee and referred under the double committee reference to the Committee on Finance before being reported to the full Senate.

Counsel summarized the substitute: "The proposed committee substitute for this bill expands provisions pertaining to cardiac arrest to be applicable to elementary schools. It requires the cardiac response plans to be venue specific and practiced annually. It requires schools to develop cardiac emergency response plans that address the appropriate use of school personnel to respond to incidents involving an individual experiencing sudden cardiac arrest while on school grounds outside of athletic events and requires coaches and any other personnel supervising a youth sports league team that plays or practices on school grounds to receive a copy of the cardiac response plan, to locate and be aware of the automated external defibrillator placement on the school grounds, maintain ongoing staff training in CPR and AED use and practice."

A junior senator asked for clarification whether coaches for youth football playing on public school property would need to be AED qualified; counsel confirmed that coaches and any personnel supervising a youth sports league team that plays or practices on school grounds would be covered. With no amendments offered, the committee agreed to the substitute by voice vote. The vice chair then moved that the committee substitute be reported to the full Senate with the recommendation that it do pass, but first be referred to the Committee on Finance under the original double committee reference; the chair declared the motion adopted by voice vote.

The record shows committee agreement by voice vote; no roll-call votes were recorded in the committee transcript.
