BILL NUMBER: S2570
TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the public health law, in relation
to authorizing public access defibrillation providers to possess and
carry such automated external defibrillators in personal motor
vehicles
PURPOSE :
This bill would allow public access defibrillation to be available to
those who are trained, and will make available such equipment to be
carried in their personal motor vehicles.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :
Section 1. Subdivision 3 of section 3000-b of the Public health law is
amended by adding a new paragraph (g).
JUSTIFICATION :
Heart attacks are one of the nation's leading causes of death.
Approximately 250,000 people die from sudden cardiac arrest every
year. Automated external defibrillators greatly increase a heart
attack victim's chance of survival. The American Heart Association
estimates that as many as 100,000 deaths could be prevented each year
through the widespread deployment of defibrillators.
