Requires the establishment of a program relating to medical emergencies. (BDR 40-702)

SB 137 requires Nevada’s Division of Public and Behavioral Health to create a statewide program improving public response to medical emergencies. The program must train volunteers in CPR and emergency response, create a system to notify people during emergencies about nearby trained volunteers and resources (via apps, QR codes, and signage), and support communities in achieving HEARTSafe Community certification. It directly affects all Nevada residents by expanding access to emergency response training and resources, particularly benefiting those experiencing or assisting during medical crises. The program becomes fully operational on January 1, 2026, with immediate administrative setup beginning upon approval.
