Florida

Florida requires AED programs to include maintenance, training, and the activation of Emergency Medical Services (EMS). The Good Samaritan law protects AED owners and users specifically for AED-related actions, but not trainers or medical directors, and is contingent on meeting certain criteria. The state also mandates AED installation in high schools, dental practices, and assisted living facilities.
