Pennsylvania SB619 amends the Public School Code to require coaches and staff supervising school-sponsored activities to complete sudden cardiac arrest training annually and obtain certifications in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated external defibrillator use. These certifications must be renewed every two years through approved courses. The school entity must maintain records of these certifications and make them publicly available. The bill defines "athletic activity" broadly to include interscholastic athletics, cheerleading, and related practices.
