Pennsylvania is among the 30 states that doesn't require AEDs in schools and some state senators want to at least require schools to have them accessible at athletic events and have people trained to use them and perform CPR.
Legislation mandating schools to have automatic external defibrillators, like one shown here, in schools or at least readily available at school sporting events is expected to see action this spring in the state Senate Education Committee. File/Joe Hermitt | jhermitt@pennlive.
Sen. Katie Muth, D-Montgomery County, has a two-bill package in the Senate Education Committee that seeks to impose that mandate on schools. One bill would mandate school buildings not only have a working AED in a central accessible place, but require a safety team certified in CPR and trained in AED use.
