An Act to Require School Boards to Adopt a Policy on Automated External Defibrillator Access at School-sponsored Athletic Events

This bill requires Maine schools to create cardiac emergency response plans and athletic emergency action plans starting in the 2026-2027 school year. These plans will outline how school staff should respond to sudden cardiac arrest or similar emergencies on school grounds and at athletic events, including the placement and use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs). The Department of Education will provide funding, prioritizing schools with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
