Before you know it, the 2014-2015 school year will be here and so will the effective date for the implementation of “Janet’s Law”. “Janet’s Law”, P.L. 2012, Chapter 51 was signed by Governor Christie Sept. 19, 2012.
“Janet’s Law” has 6 key elements: 1)all public and non-public schools must have AEDs; 2) the AEDs must be in unlocked locations; 3) the AEDs must be accessible during the school day as well as during any school-sponsored activities, practices and sporting events; 4) the AEDs are within reasonable proximity to gym(s) and athletic fields; 5)CPR/AED trained personnel must be available during events and practices; and 6) an Emergency Action Plan must be developed, where each school has at least 5 CPR/AED trained personnel and there is a detailed procedure for responding to Sudden Cardiac Events.
In 2010, Senate Resolution 75 & Assembly Resolution 84 urged school districts to improve student and staff preparedness for responding to incidents of sudden cardiac arrest. There was no firm mandate associated with this. “Janet’s Law” forces all school districts to comply.
