Automated external defibrillators.
What changed between versions
A new provision in Section 19300(c)(1) requires any structure of a type listed in subdivision (a) that serves adults 55 or older and has capacity for 50 or more such adults to have an AED, even if it does not meet the normal occupancy thresholds (e.g., 200 or more people). This significantly broadens which buildings must install AEDs beyond just 'senior centers' as defined in Section 19301.
The legislative counsel's digest was expanded to include previously omitted descriptions of existing law exemptions (local government-owned structures, licensed health facilities, and structures with an existing AED in a common area) and to describe the new broader 55-and-older population requirement.
The 'State-mandated local program' designation in the digest appears to have changed from 'yes' to 'no,' which would affect whether the state is required to reimburse local agencies for costs imposed by the bill.
A typo in the act description was corrected: 'to add Section 19301 to to' was fixed to 'to add Section 19301 to, of.'
