Schools in Oregon are already required to have an automated external defibrillator, commonly referred to as an AED.
Under a bill approved by Oregon lawmakers this month, schools would have to make sure their AED is in working order and easily accessible.
HB 4160 would also require coaches to be trained on how to use AEDs. Sen. Noah Robinson, R-Cave Junction, spoke in favor of the bill on the Senate floor, and said it's especially important to have a device nearby during sports events.

On Saturday, Trump had called on China, France, Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom and others to send warships to the key shipping route, which Iran has been blocking since the war and where about a fifth of the world's oil supplies typically pass through.
None of the countries have publicly committed to Trump's request — with some rejecting it outright — after the president upped the ante in an interview with the Financial Times late Sunday, saying their failure to do so would "be very bad for the future of NATO."
