Concerning cardiac emergency preparedness, and, in connection therewith, removing certain requirements related to written plans for automated external defibrillator use and imposing certain requirements related to automated external defibrillator maintenance and placement in schools.
Bill Summary:
Current law requires a person or entity that acquires an automated external defibrillator (AED) to develop written plans for the placement, use, and maintenance of the AED (written plans). The act eliminates the requirements that the written plans:
- Identify personnel authorized to use the AED; and
- Be reviewed and approved by a licensed physician.
The act imposes requirements for cardiac emergency preparedness for public and nonpublic schools. Beginning on or before January 1, 2026, a local education provider shall require each public school that acquires or has acquired an AED to place and maintain the AED in accordance with nationally recognized, evidence-based standards for emergency cardiovascular care, and the governing authority of a nonpublic school shall require each nonpublic school that acquires or has acquired an AED to place and maintain the AED in accordance with the same standards.
(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
