Official Summary Text

AB 1463, as introduced, Blanca Rubio.
Interscholastic athletic programs: emergency action plans.
Existing law requires the governing entity of the school district or charter school that elects to offer any interscholastic athletic program to ensure that there is a written emergency action plan in place that describes the location of emergency medical equipment and procedures to be followed in the event of sudden cardiac arrest and other medical emergencies, including concussion and heat illness, related to the athletic program’s activities or events, as specified.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
