Summary

The bill requires every student in grades six through twelve, in both public and non‑public schools, to have a physical exam using the state’s Preparticipation Physical Evaluation (PPE) form. A licensed physician, advanced practice nurse, or physician assistant must complete a cardiac‑screening training module and sign a certification statement, which the school must retain. This aims to catch heart problems early, especially for student‑athletes.
