SB 54 Louisiana Senate · 2024 Regular Session

HEALTH SERVICES: Requires CPR/AED training for coaches in Louisiana. (8/1/24) (EN INCREASE LF EX See Note)

This bill requires coaches in Louisiana to complete CPR and AED training, directly affecting schools and athletic programs. However, the law includes a specific provision stating that it will not take effect unless the legislature provides funding or private donations are made to cover the training costs. This means local school districts are not immediately forced to pay for the program on their own. The measure aims to ensure safety training for coaches while preventing an unfunded financial burden on public schools.
