Automated external defibrillators.

Existing law requires a person or entity that acquires an automated external defibrillator (AED) to comply with specified requirements, including ensuring that the AED is maintained and tested in accordance with the operation and maintenance guidelines set forth by the manufacturer. Existing law, when an AED is placed in a public or private K–12 school, requires the principal to ensure that the school administrators and staff annually receive information that describes sudden cardiac arrest, the school's emergency response plan, and the proper use of an AED. This bill would, when an AED is placed in a public or private school serving grades 6 to 12, inclusive, require the principal to, at least annually, notify pupils as to the location of all AED units on the campus.
