Relating to a cardiac arrest registry for information on the incidence and causes of cardiac arrest among certain persons; providing an administrative penalty.

HB 4590 would establish a state registry to collect data on the frequency and causes of cardiac arrests among specific individuals. Healthcare providers would be required to report cardiac arrest cases to this registry to improve understanding of the issue. The bill also includes administrative penalties for entities that fail to comply with the reporting requirements. The bill was recently referred to the Public Health committee for further review.
