An Act requiring automatic external defibrillator devices in health clubs

This bill requires health clubs to maintain at least one automatic external defibrillator (AED) on-site with a trained staff member present during business hours (Section 78A). It also mandates written emergency response plans that are publicly available and accessible AED locations (Sections 78B-78C). The law exempts smaller health clubs (with 5 or fewer full-time equivalent employees) from these requirements for one or two years after the bill's effective date. Additionally, the bill protects health clubs and trained staff from liability for AED use or non-use, except in cases of gross negligence (Sections 78C, 86).
