 tors available within each hospital. Such list  of  hospitals  shall  be

 of ventilators available within each hospital and within each region are
 adequate to address a pandemic, epidemic or disease outbreak in which  a
 main symptom is a life-threatening difficulty in breathing that can only
 be treated with a ventilator.
   c. Such report shall include the following:
   (i) the age and life-span of all ventilators;
   (ii)  recommendations  on any state expenditures needed to support the
 purchase of new ventilators in order to replace  any  out-of-date,  non-
 functioning or poorly functioning ventilators;
   (iii)  recommendations on any funding needed to increase the number of
 ventilators within the state to meet the needs of a  pandemic,  epidemic
 or disease outbreak;
   (iv) recommendations on the number of trained hospital staff necessary
 if the number of ventilators is increased in each hospital; and
   (v)  recommendations for training hospital staff to adequately operate
 such ventilators.

 nor,  the  speaker of the assembly, the minority leader of the assembly,
