This is too much...

NORRISTOWN — State Rep. Mike Vereb, R-150th Dist., delivered a bill to the House floor Wednesday that aims to prevent sudden cardiac arrest in student athletes.

The Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) Prevention Act, or House Bill 1610, currently has 40 co-sponsors. The legislation calls for student athletes, who either exhibit signs or symptoms of SCA while participating in their sport or who have exhibited signs or symptoms of SCA prior to or following an athletic activity, to be removed from play until they provide written approval from an appropriate health care professional.

That's ducky, just plain ducky.

The only sign / symptom of an SCA (Sudden Cardiac Arrest) is death. I guess it's appropriate to require "athletes who either exhibit signs or symptoms of SCA be removed from play until they provide written approval from an appropriate health care professional."

It would be more appropriate for the wizards in the House to pass a bill prohibiting a practice, tryout, or game session by an athletic group without an AED and a person trained in its use in attendance.
