Relating to emergency cardiovascular care at public schools and certain private schools in this state.

HB 850 requires Texas public schools and certain private schools to have at least one automated external defibrillator (AED) accessible within three minutes of any campus location, ensuring immediate response to cardiac emergencies. Schools must also develop and implement a cardiac emergency response plan, including trained response teams, annual CPR and AED training for staff (like coaches and nurses), and yearly practice drills. The plan must align with American Heart Association guidelines and coordinate with local emergency medical services. This bill directly affects all Texas public school campuses and qualifying private schools by mandating concrete safety measures for cardiac emergencies.
