This bill enacts a new section, R.S. 17:440.3, which mandates that the Louisiana Department of Education provide written information regarding cardiac health to public school governing authorities. The information must include the necessary requirements for student athletes who have experienced cardiac health issues before they can return to athletic participation.

Furthermore, each public school governing authority is required to distribute this information to student athletes and their parents or legal guardians. Coaches, athletic trainers, athletic directors, or other designated school personnel must ensure that parents sign a document acknowledging their receipt and understanding of the cardiac health requirements outlined in the communication. This initiative aims to enhance awareness and safety regarding cardiac health among student athletes.
