DEFIBRILLATORS AT SCHOOL ATHLETIC EVENTS

Summary

The bill mandates that every public, charter, and private school in New Mexico develop a cardiac emergency response plan and install an automated external defibrillator (AED) for all athletic activities. Schools must clearly mark the AEDs, keep them maintained, and train staff using American Heart Association standards. Implementation deadlines are the 2026‑27 school year for public non‑charter high schools and the 2027‑28 school year for elementary, middle, charter, and private schools.
