An Act to provide automated external defibrillators in all public safety vehicles

This bill creates a new trust fund to purchase automated external defibrillators for all public safety vehicles in Massachusetts. It establishes a $0.50 surcharge on most car rental transactions to finance these devices, while excluding ride-sharing companies and rentals shorter than 24 hours. The collected funds will be distributed as grants to municipalities, colleges, and charities for equipment purchases, with any surplus money carried over to future years. The law also requires an annual report on the fund's activity and takes effect on January 1, 2025.
