§ 3001-b. First  aid  instruction mandatory for coaches of extra-class
  public school athletic activities. 1. On and after the effective date of
  this section, in addition to any provision of law or rule or  regulation
  of  the  department  related  to the requirements necessary for teachers
  within  the  public  school  systems,  whether  certified  in   physical
  education  or  not, to coach any extra-class athletic activity, it shall
  be required of such teachers, except as provided in subdivision  two  or
  three  of  this  section, to hold a valid certificate of completion of a
  course of  study  in  first  aid  knowledge  and  skills  offered  by  a
  nationally  recognized  organization,  as  defined  in  paragraph (d) of
  subdivision one of section three thousand-b of the public health law and
  approved by the commissioner, or  to  meet  equivalent  requirements  as
  certified  by  the  commissioner. Any such course of study or equivalent
  requirements must include instruction in recognizing signs and  symptoms
  of  cardiac  arrest  and sudden cardiac arrest and the administration of
  adult cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Prior to the start of  each  sports
  season,  coaches  must  provide  valid  evidence  to  their chief school
  officer that their first aid  and  adult  cardiopulmonary  resuscitation
  knowledge   and   skills   are  current  pursuant  to  the  requirements
  established by a  nationally  recognized  organization,  as  defined  in
  paragraph  (d)  of  subdivision  one  of section three thousand-b of the
  public health law and approved by the commissioner, or  that  they  meet
  equivalent requirements as certified by the commissioner.
2.  Except  as  provided in subdivision three of this section, persons
  who have been employed as coaches of extra-class athletic activities  in
  a  public school system on the effective date of this section who do not
  hold a valid certificate of completion of a course of study in first aid
  knowledge and skills pursuant to subdivision one  of  this  section  may
  continue  to  coach such sports, provided, however, that such coaches do
  receive such certification required in subdivision one of  this  section
  as  soon as practicable after the effective date of this section but not
  later  than  twelve  months  thereafter,  provided,  however,  that  the
  commissioner shall have the authority to establish by rule or regulation
  an additional time schedule for compliance with this section.
3.  A  teacher  or person who is unable to hold a valid certificate of
  completion of a course of  study  in  first  aid  knowledge  and  skills
  pursuant to subdivision one of this section due to a physical disability
  may  coach any extra-class athletic activity if there is another teacher
  or person employed by  the  public  school  system  who  holds  a  valid
  certificate  of  completion  pursuant to subdivision one of this section
  and is present with such teacher or person who is unable  to  hold  such
  certificate  of  completion at all times during the extra-class athletic
  activities including but not limited to practices, scrimmages and during
  competition.
