Law
Sudden cardiac arrest
HEALTH – Repeals and adds to existing law to provide authority to administer CPR or use an automated external defibrillator and to provide legal immunity.

RS30422 / H0187

This bill is to encourage greater access of automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) in the public by removing undue regulations for persons or businesses that have an AED. It adds stronger immunity protections (commonly called “Good Samaritan laws”) for AEDs.

This legislation causes no additional expenditure of funds at the state or local level of government, nor does it cause an increase or decrease in revenue for state or local government. Therefore the legislation has no fiscal impact.
