BILL NUMBER: S1698

SPONSOR: HELMING
 
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).

Section 2. Provides effective date

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Heart attacks are one of the nation's leading causes of death.  Approxi-
mately 250,000 people die from sudden cardiac arrest every year. Auto-
mated 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 wide-
spread deployment of defibrillators.

Seconds are critical when an individual suffers a heart attack. It is
essential that the State encourage availability to trained individuals
to prevent causalities. For that reason, automated external defibrilla-
tors need to be readily available to anyone who is licensed, and this
must include availability in their personal motor vehicles.
