S 3592 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires local recreation departments, youth serving organizations, and youth camps to have defibrillators for youth athletic events.

This bill requires local recreation departments, youth organizations (like Little Leagues, Pop Warner, and police athletic leagues), and youth camps to have an automated external defibrillator (AED) available on-site at all youth athletic events and practices held on their home fields. It mandates compliance within 180 days of the law taking effect, with an alternative allowing compliance if a certified first responder with an AED is present. The bill also provides legal immunity from civil liability for organizations and their staff (including volunteers and coaches) who acquire or use AEDs under this requirement. The law applies specifically to events on publicly-owned fields and covers organizations defined under existing state law.
