(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.
(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.
(c) Every physical fitness facility must ensure that every AED on the
facility's
premises is properly tested and maintained in accordance with rules adopted by
the
Department.
