The bill amends Chapter 111 of the General Laws by adding a new section that mandates the presence of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) at sporting events held in public facilities, such as stadiums and sports centers. It specifies that each facility must have at least one AED on the premises and requires that during any sporting activity, at least one employee or authorized volunteer trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and AED use be present. If no trained personnel are available, the facility operator must make efforts to identify other trained volunteers in attendance.

Additionally, the bill requires the installation of a placard at each public entrance of the facility, indicating the location of the AEDs. The Department is tasked with establishing regulations and guidelines for the implementation and training related to this new requirement. Overall, the bill aims to enhance safety at sporting events by ensuring that life-saving equipment and trained individuals are readily available in case of emergencies.
