§ 26:2h-142.

The Legislature finds and declares that: a. A great deal of information is needed by schools and communities throughout New

Jersey in order to improve the survival of children who experience sudden cardiac

events; b. The collection of relevant data and the documentation of sudden cardiac event outcomes

are essential for policymakers and health care professionals to determine the most

effective allocation of personnel, training, equipment, and resources to save the

greatest number of lives; and c. It is in the public interest to implement such measures as are necessary to provide

for the collection of children's sudden cardiac event data and to establish a Statewide

database that will inform the efforts of schools, families, policymakers, and health

care professionals to improve children's sudden cardiac event prevention and survival.
