EDUCATION: Provides relative to the provision of cardiac health information to student athletes and their parents
This bill amends existing education laws to ensure that cardiac health information is provided to student athletes and their parents. It specifically clarifies that the state's requirements for this information must be met at a minimum level, removing language that previously suggested a higher standard. The change affects school districts and athletic programs by reinforcing the baseline obligation to share heart health data with families. No new funding or specific testing protocols are added; the text simply adjusts how the current mandate is phrased.
