❌ HB437
Enact the Healthy Cardiac Monitoring Act
Summary
The Healthy Cardiac Monitoring Act mandates that schools and youth sports organizations conduct informational meetings on sudden cardiac arrest, require physical examinations for student athletes, and establish penalties for non-compliance. It also stipulates that students must submit signed forms confirming they have received and reviewed cardiac health information before participating in athletic activities.
Rationale
The bill imposes government mandates on schools and youth sports organizations regarding health screenings and training, which conflicts with the Libertarian principles of personal liberty and minimal government intervention. It restricts individual choice and parental rights in health decisions, leading to low alignment scores with both the LP and LPO platforms.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over health decisions
- Potential infringement on parental rights
- Financial burden on schools and organizations due to compliance costs
