Bill to increase access to automated defibrillators and CPR training in residential buildings.
The problem
Sudden cardiac arrest kills thousands yearly. Many homes lack defibrillators or CPR training. Delays in treatment reduce survival chances significantly.
The proposal
Bill would encourage or require residential buildings to install AEDs and provide CPR training to residents and staff members.
The impact
Homeowners, renters, building managers, and residents gain access to life-saving equipment and training. Cardiac arrest victims have better survival odds.
Quick access to AEDs and trained responders significantly increases survival rates for cardiac arrest. Early treatment within minutes is critical for survival.
CPR training is simple and can be learned by most people. Many organizations already offer free or low-cost training programs in communities.
Widespread AED availability creates safer neighborhoods overall. More trained people means help is available during emergencies anywhere.
Preventing deaths and disabilities from cardiac arrest reduces expensive emergency care and long-term medical costs for society.
AEDs cost $1,000-2,500 per unit. Installing multiple units across residential buildings creates significant upfront expenses for building owners and managers.
AEDs require regular maintenance, battery replacement, and pad updates. Ongoing costs and responsibility can be challenging for residential property managers.
Building owners worry about legal responsibility if AEDs malfunction or if untrained people use them incorrectly. Legal protections may be unclear.
Older buildings or smaller properties may struggle to install equipment or conduct training. Requirements could burden low-income housing providers disproportionately.

Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
