Janet's Law - AED & CPR required in New Jersey Public Schools
Start September 1, 2014 - Become Compliant!
"Janet's Law"; requires public schools to have automated external defibrillators for youth athletic events and to establish certain plans relating to sudden cardiac events. (Click here to read Assembly, No. 1608 Law)
Janet Zilinski was an 11 year old cheerleader from Warren, NJ who died after suffering sudden cardiac arrest. Janet’s tragic death led to her family forming The Janet Fund, which has been fighting to raise awareness and have defibrillators placed at school grounds. The Zilinski family’s tireless fight was the driving force for what ultimately became Janet's Law. For more information about Janet and the Janet Fund please visit www.thejanetfund.org
Beginning on September 1, 2014, the board of education of a public school district that includes any of the grades kindergarten through 12 shall establish and implement an emergency action plan for responding to sudden cardiac events, including, but not limited to, those events in which the use of an automated external defibrillator may be necessary.
It is required that no less than five school faculty members sucessfully complete and hold a current certification from the American Heart Association. Let ShowMeCPR meet your training compliance.
