SUMMARY AS ENACTED WITH GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION: (all summaries)

Automated external defibrillators; public-access defibrillation. Eliminates the requirement for registration of automated external defibrillators by repealing § 32.1-111.14:1 and amends existing immunity provisions to be consistent with this deregulation of ownership and use of automated external defibrillators. The last subsection of the Good Samaritan statute (§ 8.01-225) is also amended to require that the public be urged to receive training on how to use cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillators (AED) in order to acquire the skills and confidence to respond to emergencies using both CPR and an AED. This bill included an emergency clause.
