MI SB1063

Department of Health must develop, adopt, or approve educational materials and electronic training program on sudden cardiac arrest within 90 days, covering nature/risks/symptoms, removal criteria for affected youth athletes, and risks of continuing participation.

Organizing entities (schools, parks departments, nonprofit/for-profit entities) must provide educational materials to youth athletes and parents, obtain signed acknowledgment of receipt, and maintain statements on file.

Coaches and adults must immediately remove youth athletes suspected of sudden cardiac arrest or exhibiting symptoms from physical participation; athlete cannot return without written clearance from an appropriate health professional.

Organizing entities must maintain written clearance documentation in permanent files for the duration of youth athlete participation or until age 18, available to the department upon request.

Exemptions apply to athletic activities governed by private nonprofit multisport statewide interscholastic athletic associations with substantially similar or more stringent sudden cardiac arrest protocols, and to programs where athletic participation is only incidental to the primary focus.
