New York

New York requires AED programs to include maintenance, training, reporting, and medical oversight. Good Samaritan immunity mainly applies to AED usage, with some ambiguity regarding other program activities. The law lacks clarity on protected conduct. AEDs must be placed in health clubs, schools, high-occupancy areas, government facilities, bathing beaches, and dental offices.

For implementation context, see our NYS AED requirements for youth sports guide, school AED compliance guide, and enterprise AED compliance guide.
