Bill > S07563

This bill requires all schools to conduct monthly inspections of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), which are portable electronic devices used to help people experiencing sudden cardiac arrest by delivering an electric shock to restore heart rhythm. The inspections must be performed by staff members who have been certified in AED operation and must follow the manufacturer's standards and guidelines from relevant government agencies. If an AED device fails to meet the required standards, it must be exchanged for a new device through coordination with the emergency healthcare provider specified in public health law. Schools must also maintain written documentation of all AED maintenance and testing, and submit an annual report of these records to the commissioner of health. The legislation aims to ensure that AED equipment in schools remains in proper working condition and can be relied upon during potential medical emergencies.
