CT SB00770

All students age 12 and older would be required to receive an annual electrocardiogram (EKG) screening as a prerequisite to attending school

Cost-subsidy programs would be established through collaboration with health care providers, nonprofit organizations, and insurers to ensure screenings are accessible regardless of family income

Education and awareness campaigns would be developed to inform students, parents, and educators about cardiac health and how to identify signs of cardiac distress

The bill aims to prevent sudden cardiac death among students through mandatory screening and increased awareness
