S 4725 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires public and nonpublic school athletic coaches to obtain certification in automated external defibrillator operation and first aid; updates requirements of emergency action plan for sports-related injury.

This bill requires all public and nonpublic school athletic coaches in New Jersey to hold current certification in automated external defibrillator (AED) operation and first aid, in addition to the existing CPR requirement. It updates emergency action plans for sports-related injuries to include specific details like the names of staff trained in first aid, locations of emergency equipment, and clear contact information for emergency medical services. These plans must be reviewed and rehearsed annually by schools serving students in grades six through twelve. The changes apply starting with the first full school year after the bill becomes law.
