Bill Summary
Amending the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.177, No.175), entitled "An act providing for and reorganizing the conduct of the executive and administrative work of the Commonwealth by the Executive Department thereof and the administrative departments, boards, commissions, and officers thereof, including the boards of trustees of State Normal Schools, or Teachers Colleges; abolishing, creating, reorganizing or authorizing the reorganization of certain administrative departments, boards, and commissions; defining the powers and duties of the Governor and other executive and administrative officers, and of the several administrative departments, boards, commissions, and officers; fixing the salaries of the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and certain other executive and administrative officers; providing for the appointment of certain administrative officers, and of all deputies and other assistants and employes in certain departments, boards, and commissions; providing for judicial administration; and prescribing the manner in which the number and compensation of the deputies and all other assistants and employes of certain departments, boards and commissions shall be determined," in powers and duties of the Department of General Services and its departmental administrative and advisory boards and commissions, providing for automated external defibrillators in State buildings.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Administrative Code of 1929 to require the Department of General Services to install and maintain at least one automated external defibrillator (AED) in each state-owned or leased building, plus an additional AED for every 70,000 square feet. The bill exempts certain state buildings that are not regularly occupied, such as salt storage facilities, unoccupied storage buildings, maintenance sheds, and temporary structures. The Department of General Services may adopt guidelines to administer this new requirement. The bill defines "automated external defibrillator" as a portable device that uses electric shock to restore a stable heart rhythm to an individual in cardiac arrest, and "state building" as a building owned or leased by the Commonwealth and maintained by the Department of General Services. The bill takes effect in 60 days.
