Requiring counties to register automated external defibrillators with Office of Emergency Medical Services

This bill requires businesses, organizations, and other entities that place automated external defibrillators (AEDs) on their premises to register those devices with the Office of Emergency Medical Services. It mandates that entities provide CPR and AED training for operators, maintain devices per manufacturer guidelines, coordinate with local EMS systems, and report AED usage. The bill eliminates the prior requirement for entities to designate a medical director for AED programs. These changes aim to improve access to life-saving AEDs during cardiac emergencies by ensuring proper registration, training, and system coordination.
