Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Physical Fitness Facility Medical Emergency Preparedness Act, the Automated External Defibrillator Act, and the Good Samaritan Act. Deletes a provision requiring a person, unit of state or local government, or school district operating a physical fitness facility to adopt a medical emergency plan, to have an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) at the facility, and maintain the AED in accordance with certain standards in order to avoid civil liability. Deletes provisions requiring a person who acquires an AED to take reasonable measures to ensure that the AED is used by only trained AED users and that the AED is registered with the EMS system hospital in the vicinity of where the AED will primarily be located. Adds a provision requiring that a person who acquires an AED take reasonable measures to ensure that any person considered to be an anticipated rescuer or user will have successfully completed a course of instruction in accordance with the standards of a nationally recognized organization or a course of instruction in accordance with the rules adopted under the Act to use an AED and to perform cardiovascular resuscitation (CPR). In a Section involving exemption from civil liability, deletes provisions mandating the requirements of the Act to be met in order for certain persons to avoid civil liability in relation to an act or omission involving an AED. Provides that any person who in good faith, not for compensation, renders emergency medical care involving the use of an AED in accordance with his or her training is not liable for any civil damages as a result of any act or omission, except for willful and wanton misconduct, by that person in rendering that care (now, any person who has successfully completed the training requirements of a course in basic emergency care of a person in cardiac arrest that included training in the operation and use of an AED and was conducted in accordance with the standards of the American Heart Association). Effective immediately.
