Summary

The Healthy Cardiac Monitoring Act makes schools and youth sports groups conduct heart‑risk education and pre‑participation physicals, and bars athletes with a family history of sudden cardiac arrest from competing until a physician clears them. It also obligates the state health department to approve coach training, create a standard evaluation form, and keep a ten‑year database of trained health workers, while tightening continuing‑education and disciplinary standards for medical and nursing licenses.
