A 274 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires NJT to equip trains with defibrillators.

This bill requires New Jersey Transit (NJT) to install and maintain automated external defibrillators (AEDs) on every train set used for passenger service. It mandates that AEDs be kept accessible, tested regularly, and clearly marked with signs. NJT must also ensure trained staff are present on all operating trains to use the devices and provide CPR, while notifying emergency services about AED locations. The law directly affects NJT passengers, staff, and emergency responders by improving cardiac emergency response on public transit. The bill specifies liability protection for NJT and its employees using the AEDs.
