§ 3001-c. First  aid  instruction mandatory for coaches of high school
  extra-class nonpublic school athletic activities. 1. On  and  after  the
  effective  date of this section, it shall be required of coaches of high
  school extra-class athletic activities in  a  nonpublic  school  system,
  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 high  school  extra-class  athletic
  activities  in  a  nonpublic 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 high school extra-class athletic activities  if  there  is
  another  teacher  or  person employed by the nonpublic 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 high school
  extra-class athletic activities including but not limited to  practices,
  scrimmages and during competition.
