SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Registered nurses operating automated external defibrillators; immunity from liability. Amends the Good Samaritan law to provide that any registered nurse who operates an automated external defibrillator in an emergency will not be liable for civil damages for any personal injury that results from any act or omission in the use of an automated external defibrillator in such emergency when an ordinary, reasonably prudent person other than a registered nurse would have so acted under the same or similar circumstances, unless such act or omission was the result of such registered nurse's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
