Governor Signs Bill to Fund Autmated External Defibrillators for Schools in Arkansas


Governor Mike Beebe signed into law HB 1174 that was the bill to fund automated external defibrillators for schools in Arkansas. The bill is now Act 270. The bill provides $200,000 dollars appropriated to the Department of Health to work to secure the defibrillators so schools can acquire them for their specific schools Districts.

Over the last two months there have been at least three incidences where students have gone down at sporting events with some form of sudden cardiac arrest. Two of the students are alive today because of these life saving devices. Unfortunalty one student did not make it. Our heart are with the students family.

We are so proud and thankful to our Governor and state law makers for making this a priority during this first fiscal session of the State General Assembly.
Send your law maker a thank you message TODAY. Go to www.yourethecure.org register as newtorker and you can send them a message with just a click of your computer.

This is a lifesaving day in Arkansas.
