This bill mandates that the New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJT) equip every train set used for rail passenger service with an automated external defibrillator (AED). Each defibrillator must be maintained in an accessible location and available at all times during train operations. Additionally, NJT is required to ensure that a trained employee in cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and AED use is present whenever a train set is in operation. The bill also stipulates that the corporation must test and maintain the defibrillators, mark their locations with prominent signs, and notify appropriate emergency medical services about the type and location of the defibrillators.

Furthermore, the bill provides civil liability immunity to NJT and its employees concerning the acquisition and use of defibrillators, aligning with existing state law. The definitions of "authorized employee" and "train set" are also clarified within the bill. This legislation aims to enhance passenger safety by ensuring immediate access to life-saving equipment and trained personnel during train operations.
