The bill establishes a new section, 381.992, in the Florida Statutes, which mandates the Department of Health to create and distribute an informational poster regarding the treatment of sudden cardiac arrest. This poster is required to list the signs and symptoms of sudden cardiac arrest, outline the necessary steps to take in such an event (including calling 911, performing CPR, and using an automated external defibrillator), and must be displayed publicly in accessible areas of businesses and state agencies. Additionally, the poster will be made available electronically for businesses to download.
The bill defines "business" as a trade or profession with a building occupancy rating of 1,000 persons and "state agency" as any entity within the legislative, executive, or judicial branches of state government. The Department of Health is also granted the authority to adopt rules to implement the provisions of this section. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
