Requires youth sports team coaches to undergo cardio-pulmonary resuscitation and other first aid training.

This New Jersey bill (S 2695) requires all youth sports team coaches to hold a certificate proving they've completed CPR and first aid training. It directly affects coaches of teams for children under 18, defined as nonprofit or municipal recreation teams. The law mandates that the Commissioner of Health establish certification rules for coaches, including required training, and issue certificates to those who complete it. The bill is pending in the Senate Law and Public Safety Committee and would take effect seven months after enactment.
