Requires local recreation departments, youth serving organizations, and youth camps to have defibrillators for youth athletic events.
This bill requires youth camps, recreation departments, and youth organizations (like Little Leagues, soccer leagues, and Police Athletic Leagues) to have an automated defibrillator on-site during youth athletic events held on public fields. It applies to any organization sponsoring youth sports events on municipal, county, school, or publicly-owned fields. Organizations can comply if a certified first responder with a defibrillator is present, and the bill grants legal immunity for those using defibrillators. The requirement must be met within 180 days of the bill's effective date.
