HI HCR92

Encourages the State of Hawaii to examine requiring automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in all state-owned buildings and to pursue existing AED programs.

Survival probability from cardiac arrest decreases by 7-10% for every minute a victim remains in a life-threatening arrhythmia, highlighting the urgency of accessible AEDs.

Notes that while organizations like the University of Hawaii and American Heart Association offer AED training, Hawaii has no legislatively mandated AED educational programs.

Requests certified copies of the resolution be transmitted to the Director of Health and the Comptroller for further action.
