17		-	Enrolled, An Act,
18	25		SJR____ RECOGNIZING FEBRUARY 2025 AS THE AMERICAN HEART
19	26		MONTH.
20	27		WHEREAS, more than 350,000 people experience cardiac
21	28		arrest outside of a hospital each year and about 70 percent
22	29		of these occur at home; only about one in 10 survive; and
23	30		more than 23,000 children under the age of 18 experience
24	31		cardiac arrest outside of a hospital each year in the United
25	32		States and almost 40 percent of these are sports related;
26	33		and
27	34		WHEREAS, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR),
28	35		especially if performed immediately, can double or triple a
29	36		person's chance of survival; only about 46 percent of people
30	37		who experience cardiac arrest receive CPR from people nearby
31	38		while waiting for emergency responders to arrive; and
32	39		WHEREAS, there are effective solutions to this
33	40		problem, including awareness and education to have cardiac
34	41		emergency response plans in place and CPR education and
35	42		automated external defibrillator (AED) training and
36	43		accessibility; and
37	44		WHEREAS, knowing how to properly perform CPR has
38	45		encouraged more people to act when faced with a cardiac
39	46		emergency and to save more lives from cardiac arrest outside
40	47		of a hospital; we must increase the number of people who
41	48		respond to cardiac arrest by calling 911, delivering

71	78		respond to cardiac arrest by calling 911, delivering
72	79		high-quality CPR, and using an AED as soon as it is
73	80		available; and
74	81		WHEREAS, the American Heart Association has set a
75	82		goal of doubling the survival of cardiac arrest by 2030 by
76	83		turning bystanders into lifesavers, so that everyone,
77	84		everywhere is prepared and empowered to become a vital link
78	85		in the chain of survival and by being prepared to provide
79	86		CPR in response to a cardiac emergency; now therefore,

81	88		HOUSES THEROF CONCURRING, That in celebration of American
82	89		Heart Month, we urge every household to join the Nation of
83	90		Lifesavers and learn to administer CPR.
