Ohio House Votes to Require Defibrillators, Training in Schools and Sports Venues

The Ohio House passed a proposal to mandate AEDs in public schools, municipally-owned sports and recreation locations, and some private schools.
The proposal was inspired by Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin's sudden cardiac arrest during a football game.
Employees would need to undergo training on using AEDs and recognizing cardiac arrest signs.
Students would learn about sudden cardiac arrest before athletic seasons.
The proposal now moves to the Ohio Senate for consideration.
