The "David Casey Act" amends the existing law regarding the requirement of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) at public places and healthcare facilities. The bill introduces a new definition for "public place," which now includes "public or private golf courses," thereby mandating that these facilities must have an AED on the premises. This addition aims to enhance public safety by ensuring that lifesaving equipment is accessible in more locations where large gatherings occur.

In addition to the new definition, the bill retains the existing definitions of healthcare facilities and public places, which encompass a wide range of establishments, including hospitals, nursing facilities, and various outpatient services. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
