AI Generated Summary

This Minnesota Senate bill (S.F. No. 1791) proposes appropriating $24 million from the general fund to the Department of Education. The funds would be used to issue grants through the Minnesota State High School League for school districts to purchase, install, and maintain up to 2,000 public access automated external defibrillator (AED) smart monitored cabinets on school grounds.

Key provisions include: 1. The AED units must be fully connected, monitored for five years, and maintained with necessary accessories. 2. School districts receiving grants must ensure AEDs are installed in publicly accessible locations, with land administrators approving the placement. 3. Districts must commit to maintaining the AEDs for at least five years without requesting additional public funding. 4. Installation and maintenance must consider weather conditions to ensure reliable operation. 5. Grant recipients must comply with state AED regulations.

The Minnesota State High School League and the "Anyone Can Save A Life" program will select recipient districts, begin accepting applications by October 1, 2025, and determine funding allocation. The League must report on fund distribution and AED installations to legislative education committees by October 1, 2026.

This appropriation is a one-time funding initiative.
