PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Gov. Kathy Hochul signed Desha’s Law on Thursday, a bill requiring every public school in New York State to have a cardiac emergency response plan in place.
Desha’s Law mandates that school safety plans include a cardiac emergency response. The plans must include the use of trained personnel and strategies for sudden cardiac arrest or similar emergencies at school sites or school-sponsored events.
The governor was joined by Senator April Baskin and her family at the Buffalo Bills Training Camp to sign the legislation. The bill is named after Senator Baskin’s cousin, Desha, who passed away at school due to cardiac issues.
Bills Safety Damar Hamlin, the Bills, and the NFL have been advocates for heart health and implementing training and resources in schools and youth sports following Hamlin’s cardiac arrest during a game in 2023.
“To know that my experience is leading to real change — not just for people I know, but for lives I may never meet — means the world to me. This is bigger than football. We’re putting the right systems in place to save lives, and that’s a legacy I’m proud to be part of,” says Hamlin.
Hochul has previously signed legislation requiring camps and youth sports programs to have an automated external defibrillator, or AED. In addition, at least one person must be trained to use the AED at camps, games, and practices.
