Summary

The bill adds automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) to the list of safety equipment required at senior centers and other buildings that serve 55‑plus adults. It sets maintenance, testing, training, staffing and notice rules, and shields staff and board members from most civil liability unless there is gross negligence. The measure also creates a state‑mandated local program so local governments can be reimbursed for any costs.
