Assemblymember Alanis on Thursday urged colleagues to approve AB 310, legislation that would require youth athletic programs to provide access to an automated external defibrillator, keep a written emergency response plan that lists the AED location and standard procedures, test and maintain the devices, and ensure coaches receive training in their use.

The bill’s sponsor, Assemblymember Alanis, said sudden cardiac arrest is “the number one killer of student athletes” and stressed that “timely intervention is critical.” He told the Assembly that AEDs “are easy to use, and AEDs save lives every day,” and described the bill as building on the prior Nevaeh Youth Sports Safety Act to standardize safety practices at youth games and practices.

AB 310 would require youth sports organizations to adopt a written emergency response plan that identifies the AED location, specifies maintenance and testing requirements, and ensures sufficient coach training on AED use. Alanis said the measure has bipartisan support and sought an affirmative vote, adding, “I respectfully ask for your aye vote.”

Assembly members debated briefly but raised no amendments on the floor. The clerk opened and closed the roll; the transcript records two different tallies during the announcement (a clerk tally of “Ayes 56, Noes 24” followed immediately by a correction recorded as “Ayes 56, Noes 0”), and the clerk then announced that “the measure passes.” The final declared outcome in the transcript is that AB 310 passed on third reading.

The bill’s text and any implementing regulations, funding implications, or effective date were not read on the floor during the recorded remarks and are not specified in the transcript.

Assemblymember Alanis closed debate by reiterating the life‑saving intent of the measure and the Assembly proceeded to other business.
