Senator Tracy Steele, from North Little Rock, has introduced legislation providing funding for CPR training and AEDs (automatic external defibrillators) in all schools.
"The Antony Hobbs III" act is in honor of 17-year old Parkview High Junior Antony Hobbs, who collapsed during a basketball game in 2008. An autopsy revealed Hobbs had an enlarged heart. An AED on the premises could have improved his chances of survival.
The funds are expected to come from a new tobacco tax.
