This bill mandates that certain golf courses in New Jersey must maintain an automated external defibrillator (AED) and outlines specific requirements for compliance. A "golf course" is defined as a publicly or privately owned tract of land with a regulation-sized, minimum 18-hole course, excluding smaller facilities like 9-hole courses or driving ranges. Within one year of the bill's effective date, golf course owners or operators are required to acquire at least one AED, ensure it is stored in an accessible location, and maintain it according to established guidelines. Additionally, they must notify local emergency services about the AED's type and location.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that golf course operators must arrange and fund training for their employees in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and AED use, ensuring at least one certified employee is present during business hours. Violations of these provisions will incur civil penalties starting at $250 for the first offense, escalating to $1,000 for subsequent violations. The bill also provides immunity from civil or criminal liability for golf courses that maintain their AEDs according to the manufacturer's guidelines. The Commissioner of Health is tasked with adopting regulations to implement the bill's provisions.
