HB 5622 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT REQUIRING NURSING HOMES TO HAVE AN AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR ON SITE.

HB 5622 requires all nursing homes in the state to maintain an automated external defibrillator (AED) on-site at all times. This mandate directly affects every nursing home facility operating within the state. The key provision is the requirement for AEDs to be physically present and accessible within facilities, with no exemptions specified in the bill text. The bill focuses solely on the presence of the device, without detailing training, maintenance, or enforcement mechanisms.
