13 and automated external defibrillator proficiency from the
14 American Heart Association or the American Red Cross, or a
15 substantially similar program from another provider, to any of
16 its employees or agents who are reasonably expected to be
17 potential users of the defibrillator. All persons who use an
18 automated external defibrillator must obtain appropriate
19 training, to include completion of a course in cardiopulmonary
20 resuscitation or successful completion of a basic first aid
21 course that includes cardiopulmonary resuscitation training,
22 and demonstrated proficiency in the use of an automated
23 external defibrillator.
24 (b) Any person or entity in possession of an automated
25 external defibrillator is encouraged to notify register with

27 existence and location of the automated external
28 defibrillator.
