Legislation that could save thousands of lives is in jeopardy.

The Josh Miller Hearts Act of 2009 (Josh Miller Helping Everyone Access Responsive Treatment in Schools) amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to direct the Secretary of Education to award matching grants to local educational agencies to purchase automated external defibrillators (AEDs) for use in their schools. It also requires at least five adult employees or volunteers at each school to successfully complete CPR-AED training.

Josh's Act will be sent back to square one without intense support by advocates before the end of the year. Do your part. Contact your legislator today and to express support the Josh Miller HEARTS Act.
