Bill Summary
Relative to health clubs and the use and deployment of defibrillators. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill requires health clubs in Massachusetts to have at least one Automated External Defibrillator (AED) device on the premises and at least one employee or authorized volunteer trained as an AED provider during staffed business hours. Health clubs must also have written emergency response policies and procedures that are regularly reviewed and rehearsed. The bill provides liability protection for health club employees and other individuals who, in good faith, attempt to use an AED to render emergency care. The bill's requirements would be phased in over a one-year or two-year period, depending on the number of full-time equivalent employees at the health club.
