Urgent care clinics and retail health clinics in New Jersey must acquire at least one automated external defibrillator (AED) and store it in a central location known and accessible to employees.

Clinics must notify the appropriate emergency medical services provider about the defibrillator, including its type and location, and ensure the device is properly tested and maintained.

Clinics are required to arrange and pay for employee training in CPR and AED use, with at least one trained employee on site during normal business hours.

Retail health clinics covered by this bill include those located within retail stores, supermarkets, and pharmacies offering walk-in care for acute conditions.

The requirements take effect 365 days after enactment to allow clinics time to comply.
