AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure resident safety within assisted living facilities. It requires each assisted living residence to have 24-hour coverage of at least one on-site AED (automated external defibrillator) provider and to have at least one AED readily available on-site. The bill also prohibits assisted living residences from preventing staff trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or AED use from administering emergency assistance to residents who do not have a documented or visible "do not resuscitate" order. Facilities are required to allow trained staff to provide such emergency care and cannot retaliate against them for doing so.
