| ||||||
| 2 | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 5838, AS AMENDED, by | ||||||
| 3 | replacing everything after the enacting clause with the | ||||||
| 4 | following:
| ||||||
| 5 | "Section 5. The Physical Fitness
Facility
Medical | ||||||
| 6 | Emergency Preparedness Act is amended by changing Section 15 as | ||||||
| 7 | follows: | ||||||
| 8 | (210 ILCS 74/15) | ||||||
| 9 | Sec. 15. Automated external defibrillator required. | ||||||
| 10 | (a) By the dates specified in Section 50, every physical | ||||||
| 11 | fitness facility
must have at least one AED on the facility | ||||||
| 12 | premises. The Department
shall adopt
rules to ensure | ||||||
| 13 | coordination with local emergency medical services systems
| ||||||
| 14 | regarding the
placement and use of AEDs in physical fitness | ||||||
| 15 | facilities. The Department may
adopt
rules requiring a facility | ||||||
| 16 | to have more than one AED on the premises, based on
factors
| ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | that include the following: | ||||||
| 2 | (1) The size of the area or the number of buildings or | ||||||
| 3 | floors occupied by
the facility. | ||||||
| 4 | (2) The number of persons using the facility, excluding | ||||||
| 5 | spectators. | ||||||
| 6 | (b) A physical fitness facility
must ensure that
there is a | ||||||
| 7 | trained
AED user on staff during staffed business hours. For | ||||||
| 8 | purposes
of this Act, "trained AED user" has the meaning | ||||||
| 9 | ascribed to that term in Section 10 of the Automated External | ||||||
| 10 | Defibrillator Act. | ||||||
| 11 | (b-5) The Department shall adopt rules that
encourage any | ||||||
| 12 | non-employee coach, non-employee instructor, or
other | ||||||
| 13 | similarly situated non-employee anticipated rescuer
who uses a | ||||||
| 14 | physical fitness facility in conjunction with the
supervision | ||||||
| 15 | of physical fitness activities to complete a course of
| ||||||
| 16 | instruction that would qualify such a person as a trained
AED | ||||||
| 17 | user, as defined in Section 10 of the Automated External | ||||||
| 18 | Defibrillator Act. | ||||||
| 19 | (b-10) In the case of an outdoor physical fitness facility, | ||||||
| 20 | the AED must be housed in a building, if any, that is within | ||||||
| 21 | 300 feet of the outdoor facility where an event or
activity is | ||||||
| 22 | being conducted. If there is such a building within the | ||||||
| 23 | required
distance, the building must provide unimpeded and open
| ||||||
| 24 | access to the housed AED, and the building's entrances shall
| ||||||
| 25 | further provide marked directions to the housed AED. If there | ||||||
| 26 | is no
such building, the person responsible for supervising the | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | activity at the outdoor physical fitness facility shall ensure | ||||||
| 2 | that an AED is available at the outdoor facility during the | ||||||
| 3 | time that the event or activity at the facility is being | ||||||
| 4 | conducted.
| ||||||
| 5 | (b-15) Facilities described in paragraph (1.5) of Section | ||||||
| 6 | 5.25 must have an AED on site as well as a trained AED user | ||||||
| 7 | available only during activities or events sponsored and | ||||||
| 8 | conducted or supervised by a person or persons employed by the | ||||||
| 9 | unit of local government, school, college, or university. | ||||||
| 10 | (c) Every physical fitness facility must ensure that every | ||||||
| 11 | AED on the
facility's
premises is properly tested and | ||||||
| 12 | maintained in accordance with rules adopted by
the
Department. | ||||||
