HB 4847 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Torts: liability; immunity for individuals rendering emergency services who apply bleeding control; provide for. Amends sec. 3 of 2006 PA 23 (MCL 333.26313).

HB 4847 removes a legal requirement for health club staff to provide emergency medical assistance using on-site AEDs (automated external defibrillators). It directly affects health club owners, operators, and employees by granting them immunity from liability if they do not render such aid. The bill amends existing law to clarify that health clubs have no duty to use AEDs during medical emergencies on their premises. This change does not impact other emergency medical service laws (like 1963 PA 17) but specifically limits health clubs' obligations regarding AED use. The bill passed the House in 2025 and is now moving through committee review.
