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 in writing to student athletes and their parents or legal guardians. Coaches, athletic trainers, athletic directors, or other relevant school personnel must collect signatures from parents to confirm that they have received and understood the outlined requirements. This initiative aims to enhance communication about cardiac health and ensure the safety of student athletes.
