This bill proposes the creation of a new section in the North Dakota Century Code focused on cardiac arrest prevention and education for student athletes and coaches. It defines key terms such as "athletic activity" and "coach," and mandates the development of educational materials by the superintendent of public instruction. These materials will include an information sheet on cardiac arrest symptoms, a verification form for students and their parents, and a list of resources for further education.

Additionally, the bill outlines specific requirements for student participation in athletic activities, including the necessity for students and their guardians to sign the verification form each school year. Coaches are required to complete a cardiac arrest training course and hold informational meetings about the symptoms of sudden cardiac arrest. The bill also grants coaches the authority to remove students from activities if they exhibit symptoms of cardiac distress, and stipulates that students must receive medical clearance before returning to participation. Furthermore, it allows sponsors of recreational youth athletic activities to adopt these guidelines.
