1 regarding the placement and use of AEDs in physical fitness
2 facilities. The Department may adopt rules requiring a facility

5         (1) The size of the area or the number of buildings or
6     floors occupied by the facility.

15 non-employee coach, non-employee instructor, or other
16 similarly situated non-employee anticipated rescuer who uses a
17 physical fitness facility in conjunction with the supervision
18 of physical fitness activities to complete a course of
19 instruction that would qualify such a person as a trained AED
20 user, as defined in Section 10 of the Automated External
21 Defibrillator Act.
22     (b-10) In the case of an outdoor physical fitness facility,
23 the AED must be housed in a building, if any, that is within
24 300 feet of the outdoor facility where an event or activity is
25 being conducted. If there is such a building within the
26 required distance, the building must provide unimpeded and open

 

 

HB1279 Engrossed - 4 - LRB095 09129 DRJ 29322 b

1 access to the housed AED, and the building's entrances shall
2 further provide marked directions to the housed AED. If there
3 is no such building, the person responsible for supervising the
4 activity at the outdoor physical fitness facility shall ensure
5 that an AED is available at the outdoor facility during the
6 time that the event or activity at the facility is being
7 conducted.
8     (c) Every physical fitness facility must ensure that every
9 AED on the facility's premises is properly tested and
