HB 2379 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Automated external defibrillators; creating the Doran Act of 2025; requiring on health spa premises; requirements; voidable contract; effective date.

HB 2379, the "Doran Act of 2025," requires all health spas in Oklahoma to have at least one automated external defibrillator (AED) on their premises. This applies to businesses offering fitness services like gyms, spas, martial arts schools, university fitness centers, and country clubs. The law mandates AEDs be accessible to staff and guests, with unstaffed locations needing visible signage showing the AED’s location and CPR instructions. Health spas cannot be sued over AED use unless they failed to purchase one or acted with gross negligence, and non-compliance makes service contracts voidable for customers. The law takes effect November 1, 2025.
