Requires NJT to equip trains with defibrillators.
This bill requires New Jersey Transit (NJT) to install and maintain automated external defibrillators (AEDs) on every train set used for passenger service. It mandates that AEDs be placed in accessible locations, marked with signs, and available during all train operations. NJT must also train employees in CPR and AED use, and notify emergency services about AED locations. The law provides liability protection for NJT and its staff when using the AEDs, as specified in existing state law. This directly affects NJT operations and passengers who may need emergency cardiac care during train travel.
