An Act requiring automatic external defibrillators in Norfolk County public buildings

HD 3024 requires Norfolk County public buildings to have at least one automatic external defibrillator (AED) on-site and one trained AED provider present during staffed hours. The Norfolk County Commissioners are responsible for ensuring AEDs are functional and properly stocked. The bill also protects untrained volunteers or staff (who aren't paid for emergency care) from liability when providing first aid like CPR or defibrillation, unless due to gross negligence. This applies directly to Norfolk County public buildings and their employees or volunteers.
