Editor’s notes.
Ga. L. 2008, p. 1158, § 1/HB 1031, not codified by the General Assembly, provides: “The General Assembly finds that, although rare, sudden death in teenagers does occur. The General Assembly further finds that in recent years, there have been instances of cardiac arrest in high school students participating in interscholastic athletic events and practices. In instances of cardiac arrest, time is critical, and even with quick response from emergency personnel, it may not be fast enough for successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The General Assembly finds that automated external defibrillators are inexpensive and are not difficult to operate by lay persons as well as trained emergency personnel.
