HB 3596 establishes "Cody’s Law," which enhances safety measures for student-athletes regarding sudden cardiac arrest. It requires annual electrocardiograms (ECGs) as part of pre-participation physicals for interscholastic sports unless parents opt out. The bill mandates training for coaches, removal of students from play if they show warning signs of cardiac arrest, and strict return-to-play protocols.
