Nassau County legislators are meeting Monday at Eisenhower Park in East Meadow to propose “Robbie’s Law,” which would require automated external defibrillators at all 200 Nassau County-owned ball fields and courts.
The law would be named after Robbie Levine, a 9-year-old boy from Merrick who died 20 years ago at practice. There was no AED on site that day.
Right now, a state law only requires camps and youth sports programs with five or more teams to have an AED on hand during all games and practices.
