Requires NJT to equip trains with defibrillators.
This bill requires New Jersey Transit (NJT) to equip every train used for passenger service with an automated external defibrillator (AED). NJT must maintain each AED in an accessible location, ensure it's available during all train operations, and mark its location with a prominent sign. The bill also mandates that every train has an employee trained in CPR and AED use, and requires NJT to notify emergency services about AED locations. These requirements directly affect NJT passengers (through improved emergency response) and NJT staff (through training obligations), with liability protection for staff using the devices.
