Public Act 096-0748 |
||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning regulation.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Physical Fitness
Facility
Medical Emergency | ||||
Preparedness Act is amended by changing Section 15 as follows: | ||||
(210 ILCS 74/15)
| ||||
Sec. 15. Automated external defibrillator required.
| ||||
(a) By the dates specified in Section 50, every physical | ||||
fitness facility
must have at least one AED on the facility | ||||
premises. The Department
shall adopt
rules to ensure | ||||
coordination with local emergency medical services systems
| ||||
regarding the
placement and use of AEDs in physical fitness | ||||
facilities. The Department may
adopt
rules requiring a facility | ||||
to have more than one AED on the premises, based on
factors
| ||||
that include the following:
| ||||
(1) The size of the area or the number of buildings or | ||||
floors occupied by
the facility.
| ||||
(2) The number of persons using the facility, excluding | ||||
spectators.
| ||||
(b) A physical fitness facility
must ensure that
there is a | ||||
trained
AED user on staff during staffed business hours and | ||||
present during all physical fitness activities . For purposes
of | ||||
this Act, "trained AED user" has the meaning ascribed to that |
term in Section 10 of the Automated External Defibrillator Act.
| ||
(b-5) The Department shall adopt rules that
encourage any | ||
non-employee coach, non-employee instructor, or
other | ||
similarly situated non-employee anticipated rescuer
who uses a | ||
physical fitness facility in conjunction with the
supervision | ||
of physical fitness activities to complete a course of
| ||
instruction that would qualify such a person as a trained
AED | ||
user, as defined in Section 10 of the Automated External | ||
Defibrillator Act. | ||
(b-10) In the case of an outdoor physical fitness facility, | ||
the AED must be housed in a building, if any, that is within | ||
300 feet of the outdoor facility where an event or
activity is | ||
being conducted. If there is such a building within the | ||
required
distance, the building must provide unimpeded and open
| ||
access to the housed AED, and the building's entrances shall
| ||
further provide marked directions to the housed AED. If there | ||
is no
such building, the person responsible for supervising the | ||
activity at the outdoor physical fitness facility shall ensure | ||
that an AED is available at the outdoor facility during the | ||
time that the event or activity at the facility is being | ||
conducted.
| ||
(c) Every physical fitness facility must ensure that every | ||
AED on the
facility's
premises is properly tested and | ||
maintained in accordance with rules adopted by
the
Department.

Sec. 44.5. Emergency medical plan; AED. | ||

implement a written emergency medical plan, which shall include | ||
staff responsibilities and office protocol for emergency | ||
procedures. | ||
(b) All dental offices that administer anesthesia or | ||
sedation, as set forth in Section 8.1 of this Act, must contain | ||
at least one automated external defibrillator (AED) on the | ||
premises at all times. | ||
(c) The owner of a dental office is responsible for | ||
complying with the requirements of this Section.
| ||
Section 15. The Physical Fitness Services Act is amended by | ||
changing Section 14 as follows:
| ||
(815 ILCS 645/14) (from Ch. 29, par. 60.4)
| ||
Sec. 14. (a) A physical fitness center shall have available | ||
and on its
premises, during staffed business hours at all times | ||
during which members of such physical fitness center
or other | ||
persons are engaged in physical fitness activities or receiving
| ||
physical fitness services , at least one person who holds a | ||
valid certificate
indicating that he has successfully |
completed a course of training in basic
cardiopulmonary | ||
resuscitation which complies with generally recognized
| ||
standards for basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
| ||
(b) A person holding a valid certificate who in good faith | ||
provides
emergency cardiopulmonary resuscitation to a member | ||
of the physical fitness
center or other person shall not be | ||
liable for his act or omission in
providing such resuscitation, | ||
unless such act or omission was willful or
wanton, as provided | ||
in Section 17 of the "Emergency Medical Services
(EMS) Systems | ||
Act", as now or hereafter amended.
| ||
(c) For the purposes of this Section, the term "physical | ||
fitness
center" includes not-for-profit entities which offer
| ||
physical fitness services to the public. A "physical fitness | ||
center"
does not include any facility operated by a group or | ||
association of private
individuals solely for the benefit or | ||
use of such individuals and not open
to the public.
