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 (S 3015) requires all public and nonpublic school athletic coaches in New Jersey to hold current certification in automated external defibrillator (AED) operation and first aid from recognized organizations like the American Red Cross or American Heart Association. It updates existing requirements by expanding emergency action plans for sports injuries to include specific details such as identifying healthcare providers at events and providing emergency contact information with venue directions. The law amends P.L.2013, c.209 (which sets coach certification standards) and P.L.2019, c.292 (which governs emergency action plans). These changes apply to all school districts and nonpublic schools with grades 6-12, effective for the first full school year after enactment.
