HB 1771 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Establishes provisions governing automated external defibrillators in schools

This bill requires all public school campuses to install automated external defibrillators (AEDs) by the start of the 2025-26 school year. It mandates that school personnel receive annual training on using these devices and establishes strict rules for their maintenance, including annual inspections by qualified technicians and proper battery care. The legislation also defines specific placement standards for AEDs, ensuring they are located in high-traffic areas like gyms and cafeterias where they are easily accessible during and outside of school hours. Additionally, the bill outlines protocols for early access and care, requiring schools to call emergency services and begin CPR immediately while using the AED within three to five minutes of a cardiac arrest event.
