In Michigan, there are no specific administrative or operational requirements mandated for AED programs. However, high school students are obligated to undergo CPR/AED training as part of their curriculum. The Good Samaritan law extends protection solely to individuals engaging in AED-related activities, excluding other aspects of AED program management. Immunity from liability is not contingent upon adherence to specified administrative or operational protocols. As for AED placement, Michigan mandates their presence in health clubs.
Michigan Law Key Takeaways
- Good Samaritan Law: Civil liability immunity is granted to individuals acting as good-faith rescuers.
- Health Clubs: AEDs must be available at health clubs, with at least one staff member trained in CPR/AED.
- Students: CPR/AED training is mandatory for all students enrolled in grades 7-12.

AED's save lives every day and you can make a difference! Besides the states requirements, we believe AED's should be readily available everywhere, within arms reach in case of an emergency.
