An Act requiring automatic external defibrillators in Norfolk County public buildings

This bill mandates that public buildings under the direct supervision of the Norfolk County Commissioners must have at least one automatic external defibrillator (AED) on the premises. It also requires that staffed buildings have an employee or authorized volunteer trained to use the device during business hours. The legislation assigns the Norfolk County Commissioners the responsibility to ensure these devices remain functional and available in sufficient numbers. Additionally, the bill provides legal protection for individuals who attempt to provide emergency medical care without compensation, shielding them from liability unless they act with gross negligence or willful misconduct.
