SB 141 Alaska Senate · 34th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relating to automated external defibrillators in buildings open to the public; relating to opioid overdose response kits in buildings open to the public; relating to civil liability for providing opioid overdose drugs; and providing for an effective date.

SB 141 requires all state-owned buildings and public buildings open to the public to provide and maintain an automated external defibrillator (AED) and an opioid overdose response kit on every floor, placed in a central location with clear signage. The bill also grants legal protection to anyone who administers opioid overdose drugs during an emergency or maintains such kits in public spaces, shielding them from civil liability. It mandates the state health department to seek federal funding for costs and adopt regulations to enforce these requirements, with the law taking effect January 1, 2026. This directly affects public building owners, state facilities, and emergency responders by standardizing lifesaving equipment access.
