1 | AN ACT concerning regulation.
| ||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||
4 | Section 5. The Physical Fitness
Facility
Medical Emergency | ||||||
5 | Preparedness Act is amended by changing Section 15 as follows:
| ||||||
6 | (210 ILCS 74/15)
| ||||||
7 | Sec. 15. Automated external defibrillator required.
| ||||||
8 | (a) By the dates specified in Section 50, every physical | ||||||
9 | fitness facility
must have at least one AED on the facility | ||||||
10 | premises. The Department
shall adopt
rules to ensure | ||||||
11 | coordination with local emergency medical services systems
| ||||||
12 | regarding the
placement and use of AEDs in physical fitness | ||||||
13 | facilities. The Department may
adopt
rules requiring a facility | ||||||
14 | to have more than one AED on the premises, based on
factors
| ||||||
15 | that include the following:
| ||||||
16 | (1) The size of the area or the number of buildings or | ||||||
17 | floors occupied by
the facility.
| ||||||
18 | (2) The number of persons using the facility, excluding | ||||||
19 | spectators.
| ||||||
20 | (b) A physical fitness facility
must ensure that
there is a | ||||||
21 | trained
AED user on staff during staffed business hours and | ||||||
22 | present during all physical fitness activities . For purposes
of | ||||||
23 | this Act, "trained AED user" has the meaning ascribed to that |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | term in Section 10 of the Automated External Defibrillator Act.
| ||||||
2 | (b-5) The Department shall adopt rules that
encourage any | ||||||
3 | non-employee coach, non-employee instructor, or
other | ||||||
4 | similarly situated non-employee anticipated rescuer
who uses a | ||||||
5 | physical fitness facility in conjunction with the
supervision | ||||||
6 | of physical fitness activities to complete a course of
| ||||||
7 | instruction that would qualify such a person as a trained
AED | ||||||
8 | user, as defined in Section 10 of the Automated External | ||||||
9 | Defibrillator Act. | ||||||
10 | (b-10) In the case of an outdoor physical fitness facility, | ||||||
11 | the AED must be housed in a building, if any, that is within | ||||||
12 | 300 feet of the outdoor facility where an event or
activity is | ||||||
13 | being conducted. If there is such a building within the | ||||||
14 | required
distance, the building must provide unimpeded and open
| ||||||
15 | access to the housed AED, and the building's entrances shall
| ||||||
16 | further provide marked directions to the housed AED. If there | ||||||
17 | is no
such building, the person responsible for supervising the | ||||||
18 | activity at the outdoor physical fitness facility shall ensure | ||||||
19 | that an AED is available at the outdoor facility during the | ||||||
20 | time that the event or activity at the facility is being | ||||||
21 | conducted.
| ||||||
22 | (c) Every physical fitness facility must ensure that every | ||||||
23 | AED on the
facility's
premises is properly tested and | ||||||
24 | maintained in accordance with rules adopted by
the
Department.

8 | procedures. | ||||||
9 | (b) All dental offices that administer anesthesia or | ||||||
10 | sedation, as set forth in Section 8.1 of this Act, must contain | ||||||

14 | complying with the requirements of this Section.
| ||||||
15 | Section 15. The Physical Fitness Services Act is amended by | ||||||
16 | changing Section 14 as follows:
| ||||||
17 | (815 ILCS 645/14) (from Ch. 29, par. 60.4)
| ||||||
18 | Sec. 14. (a) A physical fitness center shall have available | ||||||
19 | and on its
premises, during staffed business hours at all times | ||||||
20 | during which members of such physical fitness center
or other | ||||||
21 | persons are engaged in physical fitness activities or receiving
| ||||||
22 | physical fitness services , at least one person who holds a | ||||||
23 | valid certificate
indicating that he has successfully |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | completed a course of training in basic
cardiopulmonary | ||||||
2 | resuscitation which complies with generally recognized
| ||||||
3 | standards for basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
| ||||||
4 | (b) A person holding a valid certificate who in good faith | ||||||
5 | provides
emergency cardiopulmonary resuscitation to a member | ||||||
6 | of the physical fitness
center or other person shall not be | ||||||
7 | liable for his act or omission in
providing such resuscitation, | ||||||
8 | unless such act or omission was willful or
wanton, as provided | ||||||
9 | in Section 17 of the "Emergency Medical Services
(EMS) Systems | ||||||
10 | Act", as now or hereafter amended.
| ||||||
11 | (c) For the purposes of this Section, the term "physical | ||||||
12 | fitness
center" includes not-for-profit entities which offer
| ||||||
13 | physical fitness services to the public. A "physical fitness | ||||||
14 | center"
does not include any facility operated by a group or | ||||||
15 | association of private
individuals solely for the benefit or | ||||||
16 | use of such individuals and not open
to the public.
