FL S1394

Expands requirement for automated external defibrillator (AED) placement to all public schools in Florida, rather than only those affiliated with the Florida High School Athletic Association.

Requires owners, operators, and administrators of places of public assembly to notify local emergency medical services medical directors of AED locations, which must be maintained in a registry.

Authorizes 911 telecommunicators to contact private AED owners and provide coronary emergency locations when a confirmed cardiac emergency call is within reasonable distance of a registered defibrillator.

Directs the State Surgeon General to adopt rules establishing guidelines for appropriate AED placement and deployment in state buildings and places of public assembly, defined as facilities with seating capacity of at least 1,000 people such as stadiums, arenas, theaters, and concert halls.

Clarifies that the bill does not mandate AED placement in places of public assembly, prohibit stricter local ordinances, or establish new legal standards of care in civil actions.
