Buffalo Bills Safety Damar Hamlin joined U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Monday at Cheektowaga Central High School to announce his plan to bring to the Senate floor his and Damar Hamlin's legislation to help put AEDs in schools and make CPR training more accessible across America.

When Hamlin went into cardiac arrest during an NFL game in January 2023, the Bills medical team used an AED and performed CPR saving Hamlin's life. Since then, Hamlin and Schumer have been working together to create a new federal program to put more AEDs in schools. Now Schumer is launching their final push as he will bring the bipartisan Cardiomyopathy Health Education, Awareness, Research and Training in Schools (HEARTS) Act to the floor for passage so it can become law.
