"Collaborative agreement." A person, firm, organization or other entity may purchase, acquire, possess and operate an AED pursuant to a collaborative agreement with an emergency health care provider.
Possession and operation of an AED by a public access defibrillation provider shall comply with the following: (a) No person may operate an AED unless the person has successfully completed a training course in the operation of an AED approved by a nationally-recognized organization or the state emergency medical services council.
The public access defibrillation provider shall post a sign or notice at the main entrance to the facility or building in which the AED is stored, indicating the location where any such automated external defibrillator is stored or maintained in such building or facility on a regular basis.
We make every attempt to ensure the accuracy of our research regarding automated external defibrillator (AED) unit laws in each state across the country, however, with laws varying from state-to-state and even on a local basis, as you might imagine, staying abreast of constant changes is a very challenging process. As such, it's important to note that our findings should be used for informational purposes only and that any specific AED laws or AED requirements for your AED program should be developed between you and your legal counsel. If you have any suggestions, information, or tips on new or pending AED unit legislation that you feel might help improve our AED requirement pages, please contact us to let us know! By spreading knowledge about how to build and manage legally compliant AED programs, we hope to improve survival rates from sudden cardiac arrest.
