Automatic external defibrillators, or AEDs, must be placed in nearly every school or sports and recreation venue in Ohio under a bill signed this week by Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A new Ohio law will require automatic external defibrillators, or AEDs, to be placed in nearly every school or sports and recreation venue in the state, a change prompted by the sudden cardiac arrest of Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin during a Monday Night Football game in Cincinnati last year.
“I’ll always consider Ohio my second home, and I’m delighted that this new law makes the places around the state where young people learn, play, and compete safer, more resilient, and better prepared to respond to a cardiac emergency,” he said in a statement. “This is a big win for young people throughout Ohio.”
