Florida Tele-CPR Bill Heads to Governor's Desk

During the 2022 Florida Legislative Session, the American Heart Association urged the Legislature to pass Tele-CPR legislation (SB 890/HB 593) to ensure 911 callers are coached to perform life-saving CPR in the event of cardiac arrest or other medical emergency until emergency medical services arrive.
