AN ACT concerning regulation.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Physical Fitness
Facility
Medical Emergency |
Preparedness Act is amended by changing Section 15 as follows:
|
(210 ILCS 74/15) |
Sec. 15. Automated external defibrillator required. |
(a) By the dates specified in Section 50, every physical |
fitness facility
must have at least one AED on the facility |
premises. The Department
shall adopt
rules to ensure |
coordination with local emergency medical services systems
|
regarding the
placement and use of AEDs in physical fitness |
facilities. The Department may
adopt
rules requiring a facility |
to have more than one AED on the premises, based on
factors
|
that include the following: |
(1) The size of the area or the number of buildings or |
floors occupied by
the facility. |
(2) The number of persons using the facility, excluding |
spectators. |
(b) A physical fitness facility
must ensure that
there is a |
trained
AED user on staff during staffed business hours. For |
purposes
of this Act, "trained AED user" has the meaning |
ascribed to that term in Section 10 of the Automated External |
|
Defibrillator Act. |
(b-5) The Department shall adopt rules that
encourage any |
non-employee coach, non-employee instructor, or
other |
similarly situated non-employee anticipated rescuer
who uses a |
physical fitness facility in conjunction with the
supervision |
of physical fitness activities to complete a course of
|
instruction that would qualify such a person as a trained
AED |
user, as defined in Section 10 of the Automated External |
Defibrillator Act. |
(b-10) In the case of an outdoor physical fitness facility, |
the AED must be housed in a building, if any, that is within |
300 feet of the outdoor facility where an event or
activity is |
being conducted. If there is such a building within the |
required
distance, the building must provide unimpeded and open
|
access to the housed AED, and the building's entrances shall
|
further provide marked directions to the housed AED. If there |
is no
such building, the person responsible for supervising the |
activity at the outdoor physical fitness facility shall ensure |
that an AED is available at the outdoor facility during the |
time that the event or activity at the facility is being |
conducted.
|
(b-15) Facilities described in paragraph (1.5) of Section |
5.25 must have an AED on site as well as a trained AED user |
available only during activities or events sponsored and |
conducted or supervised by a person or persons employed by the |
unit of local government, school, college, or university. |
