This bill mandates that institutions of higher education must install an automated external defibrillator (AED) in an unlocked location within each athletic facility and student center, clearly marked with an identifying sign. The AEDs must be accessible during normal operating hours and located near athletic fields. Additionally, the institutions are required to have at least two staff members trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of the AED present during these hours. Each defibrillator must also be regularly tested and maintained according to the manufacturer's guidelines, with notifications sent to local emergency medical services regarding the AED's type and location.

Furthermore, the bill provides civil liability immunity to the institutions and their staff concerning the acquisition and use of the defibrillators, ensuring that they are protected from legal repercussions related to these actions. This legislation aims to enhance safety measures in educational athletic environments by ensuring that life-saving equipment is readily available and that trained personnel are present to respond in emergencies.
