Recreation: other; act regarding medical emergencies in health clubs; revise cross reference to the Good Samaritan Act. Amends sec. 3 of 2006 PA 23 (MCL 333.26313).
This bill clarifies that health club owners, operators, and employees have no legal duty to provide emergency services when using an automated external defibrillator (AED) on their premises. It achieves this by amending the existing Good Samaritan Act to explicitly state that individuals are not required to render emergency aid in these situations. The legislation also confirms that this change does not restrict the protections already available under the state's Good Samaritan Act for other types of emergency assistance.
