Bill Summary

For legislation to require automated external defibrillators in assisted living residences. Elder Affairs.

AI Summary

This bill requires assisted living residences to have an automated external defibrillator (AED) readily available on the premises. An AED is a medical device that can recognize and treat certain types of abnormal heart rhythms, and automatically deliver an electrical shock to the heart if needed. The bill amends the existing laws governing assisted living residences to add this new requirement, with the goal of improving emergency medical care and potentially saving lives in these facilities.
