Requires automatic external defibrillators on-site at certain places of public assembly and youth athletic events.

This bill (A6023) requires owners of venues hosting large public gatherings (1,000+ capacity, like stadiums, theaters, and arenas) and youth sports organizations (e.g., Little Leagues) to maintain an automatic external defibrillator (AED) on-site at events. It mandates that AEDs be accessible 24/7, properly maintained, and staff trained in their use, with specific protocols for cardiac emergencies. Venues must display clear signage, notify emergency services, and ensure certified personnel are present during events. Non-compliance carries civil penalties ($250-$1,000 per violation), while proper AED use provides legal immunity for venues and staff. The bill excludes church halls and similar religious spaces from coverage.
