MODERATE

The bill was transformed from a generic public health reform act into a specific law known as the 'Doran Act of 2025' that mandates automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in health spas. This change shifts the legislation from a broad, undefined scope to a targeted requirement for specific businesses, including gyms, martial arts schools, and country clubs. The new version establishes clear rules for AED placement, signage, and immunity for staff, while also allowing customers to void their contracts if the spa fails to comply.
