AI Summary
This bill aims to provide automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in all public safety vehicles in Massachusetts. It establishes the Automatic External Defibrillator Trust Fund, which will be administered by the Secretary of Public Safety and Security to provide grants to municipalities for the purchase of AEDs for their public safety and first responder vehicles. The bill also mandates that all motor vehicles owned or operated by city or town police or fire departments in the Commonwealth must be equipped with at least one AED. To fund this initiative, the bill imposes a $0.50 public safety vehicle equipment surcharge on each vehicular rental transaction in the Commonwealth, with the revenue deposited into the Automatic External Defibrillator Trust Fund up to $1 million per year, with any excess going to the General Fund.
