## Summary

**Venue-specific heat-related emergency plans** would be required for athletic programs at secondary schools and colleges to reduce heat-related illness and deaths. The bill would also require training, annual reporting, and promote federal funding for prevention and equipment. - Student athletes and families: Would require symptom-identification rules, cold water immersion protocols, and AED procedures to be posted in locker rooms and athletic spaces and practiced in person before each academic year's practical training. - Coaches, trainers, and emergency responders: Would require distribution of plans to local responders, routine in-person drills for staff, and planning that ensures an automatic external defibrillator is reachable within 3 minutes of each venue. - Schools and colleges: Would have 1 year to develop venue-specific plans in consultation with local responders, then submit compliance reports annually to the Secretary of Education and authorizing committees; the Secretary would promote federal grants for training and equipment to support implementation.
