Plain-language change summary

The newly revised Bill SB 5790 shifts its focus from requiring bleeding control equipment in schools to mandating the acquisition and maintenance of semiautomatic external defibrillators (AEDs) on each school campus. This change stipulates that starting in the 2026-27 school year, each school district must have at least one AED and also provides instructions for its use and maintenance. Additionally, it ensures that anyone using the AED in an emergency is protected from civil liability. This amendment matters because having AEDs readily available can save lives during cardiac emergencies in schools.
