AI Summary
This bill aims to ensure resident safety within assisted living facilities. It requires each assisted living residence to have 24-hour on-site coverage by at least one automated external defibrillator (AED) provider, as well as 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 providing such emergency assistance to residents who do not have a "do not resuscitate" order, though the facility can require documentation of proper training. Additionally, the bill prohibits assisted living residences from retaliating against staff who render emergency assistance.
