SB 5083: Sudden cardiac arrest

Enacting the sudden cardiac arrest awareness act.

Summary

  • Requires the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) to develop an online pamphlet that provides youth athletes, their parents or guardians, and coaches with information about SCA, and requires athletes and their parents or guardians to certify their review of the pamphlet annually.
