An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in certification of teachers, repealing provisions relating to CPR instruction; and, in school health services, repealing provisions relating to automatic external defibrillators and providing for AED and CPR instruction and procedure, establishing the Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Program and providing for availability and specifications of automated external defibrillators.
SB 375, known as Greg Moyer's Law, amends Pennsylvania's Public School Code to update requirements for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) training and equipment in schools. The bill repeals the previous mandate requiring schools to offer CPR classes every three years and replaces it with a requirement to provide both CPR and AED instruction to school employees. Additionally, the legislation establishes a new AED Program that allocates at least one percent of the School Safety and Security Fund between fiscal years 2024-2025 and 2028-2029 to purchase or discount AED devices for school buildings. This program also defines what constitutes an AED, sets specifications for their availability, and outlines reporting requirements for schools to track the number and condition of these devices.
