Senate approves adding elementary schools to AED restricted account
Summary
Senate Bill 192, which expands the automatic external defibrillator restricted account to include elementary schools (K–6), passed on the floor with minimal discussion and will be sent to the House.
Senate Bill 192 was presented briefly on the floor as a measure adding elementary schools (defined as schools that offer kindergarten through sixth grade) to the automatic external defibrillator (AED) restricted account. The sponsor noted prior instances where schools wished they had access to AED funds; the sponsor described the change as practical and budget-neutral because the funds are 'fees' or restricted account monies.
There was no substantial debate; the clerk conducted a roll call and later announced the bill passed (clerk recorded '1 nay vote, 3 being absent' in the floor announcement) and the bill will be sent to the House for consideration.
End of coverage: SB192 passed with the clerk's announcement and was transmitted to the House.
