AI Summary

  • Requires Arizona public high schools and charter schools to provide training in both cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) use, expanding the current CPR-only requirement.

  • Training must be based on current national evidence-based emergency cardiovascular care guidelines and include hands-on practice with both CPR and AED equipment, except for online school students.

  • Certified trainers are required only when instruction results in certification; non-certified teachers may facilitate training that does not lead to certification.

  • Students may be excused from training at parent request, if they provide documentation of prior training or certification, or through an individualized education program team determination for students with disabilities.

  • Expands the state tax credit for public school contributions to include donations for AED training in addition to existing CPR training, with credits capped at $200 for individuals and $400 for married couples filing jointly.
