Current as of January 02, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a) The governing authority of each public and nonpublic school that serves any of the grades nine through twelve (9-12) shall maintain an automated external defibrillator (AED), as defined in § 68-140-402, that is accessible during the school day and during all school youth athletic activities in which students in any of the grades nine through twelve (9-12) are participating.

(b) An AED maintained pursuant to subsection (a) must:

(1) Be identified with signage;

(2) Be located on-site of the school youth athletic activity or placed and made available in an unlocked location on school property that allows for the AED to be used on an individual who may experience a sudden cardiac arrest event while the individual is on-site of the school youth athletic activity within three (3) minutes; and

(3) Meet the requirements of title 68, chapter 140, part 408. 1

(c) The governing authority of a public or nonpublic school may use an AED maintained by the governing authority pursuant to § 49-2-122 or § 49-50-804 to meet the requirements of this section.
