6/8/2009--Introduced.
Josh Miller Helping Everyone Access Responsive Treatment in Schools Act of 2009 or the Josh Miller HEARTS Act - Amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to direct the Secretary of Education to award matching grants to local educational agencies (LEAs) to:
(1) purchase automated external defibrillators (AEDs) for use in their schools; and/or
(2) provide training to meet the grant requirement that at least five adult employees or volunteers at each school where an AED is to be used successfully complete training in its use and in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Requires LEA grant applicants also to demonstrate that:
(1) the AEDs are integrated into the schools' emergency response procedures; and
(2) emergency services personnel are notified of their locations.
Gives grant priority to schools that:
(1) lack an AED;
(2) typically have a significant number of students, staff, and visitors present during the day;
(3) generally have a longer wait for emergency medical services than other public facilities in the community; and
(4) have not received funds under the Rural Access to Emergency Devices Act.

House Democratic Caucus Summary

The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.

So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.

We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.

The United States Code is the compilation of permanent laws enacted by Congress. Temporary and other non-permanent laws do not appear in the United States Code. (About half of the United States Code is the law itself, called positive law. The other half is merely a compilation of the laws but has no legal significance.)
