Provides that any person who in good faith (instead of any person currently certified in basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation who complies with generally recognized standards, and who in good faith), not for compensation, provides emergency cardiopulmonary resuscitation to a person who is an apparent victim of acute cardiopulmonary insufficiency shall not, as the result of his or her acts or omissions in providing resuscitation, be liable for civil damages, unless the acts or omissions constitute willful and wanton misconduct. Effective immediately.

Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Bill HB 1549 adds a section stating that the bill will take effect as soon as it becomes law. It removes a previous section that provided legal protection from civil liability for individuals using automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in emergencies, as long as they were trained properly. This change is significant because without that liability protection, fewer people might be willing to use AEDs in emergencies, potentially putting lives at risk.
