Senator Geiss asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Geiss’ statement is as follows:
I rise to speak in support of the substitute to House Bill No. 5527, which makes an already good and important bill even better. The S-3 expands AED access use beyond athletes and athletic programs, but to other school-sponsored programs. This means that programs such as marching band, which exists outside the football team and has practices at separate times from football practice, not to mention the other competitions, music festivals, and parades they participate and perform in, would not be excluded as the original text of the bill focused solely on athletic programs. With this substitute, our junior ROTC kids, marching band kids, color guard kids, drama club and theater kids, kids participating in non-physical but high-pressure activities like debate club and so many others, including their spectators, will now too have this important legal and medical protection. I am grateful for the policy team and the sponsor for getting this addition included.
