Requiring counties to register automated external defibrillators with Office of Emergency Medical Services
SB 96 requires entities (such as businesses, schools, or organizations) that place automated external defibrillators (AEDs) on their premises to register those devices with the Office of Emergency Medical Services. The registration must include details like AED locations, training records for operators, maintenance plans, and coordination with emergency medical services. The bill eliminates the prior requirement for entities to designate a medical director for their AED program. This registration system aims to improve access to defibrillation during cardiac emergencies by ensuring AEDs are properly documented and accessible to emergency responders.
