of pending or increased risk of sudden cardiac arrest. Such information
shall be posted on the department's website. In addition, each school

department of health, in conjunction with the department, in any
permission form or parent or person in parental relation consent form or
similar document that may be required for a student's participation in
interscholastic athletics and shall also include such information, or
reference how to obtain such information from the department and the
department of health's websites, on the school's website, if one exists.

that any student displaying signs or symptoms of pending or increased
risk of sudden cardiac arrest shall be immediately removed from athletic
activities and shall not resume athletic activity until he or she has
been evaluated by and received written and signed authorization from a
licensed physician. Such authorization shall be kept on file in the
pupil's permanent health record.
