Summary of Bill S 3699

The COACHES Act, also known as Bill 118 s 3699, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to improve the safety and well-being of student athletes by requiring all coaches at schools that receive federal funding to undergo training on how to prevent and respond to sudden cardiac arrest.

The COACHES Act specifically mandates that coaches receive training in CPR and the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs). These skills are crucial in the event of a sudden cardiac arrest, which can occur in athletes of all ages and fitness levels. By ensuring that coaches are properly trained in these life-saving techniques, the bill aims to increase the chances of survival for student athletes who experience cardiac events during practices or games.

In addition to training requirements, the COACHES Act also calls for the establishment of guidelines for the implementation of AED programs in schools. This includes ensuring that AEDs are readily accessible during athletic events and that coaches are familiar with their location and operation. Overall, the COACHES Act seeks to prioritize the health and safety of student athletes by equipping coaches with the knowledge and skills necessary to respond effectively in emergency situations. By promoting proactive measures to prevent and address sudden cardiac arrest, this legislation aims to protect the well-being of young athletes across the country.
