Find out more about Colorado AED laws and pending Colorado AED legislation. Learn what legislators in Colorado are doing to mandate state requirements for the placement of AEDs, including laws to protect organizations that purchase an AED.
An AED Law can empower individuals to train and be prepared to use an automated external defibrillator to save lives. Good Samaritan laws can protect those who use an AED to help a victim. State AED laws that mandate AED installation in proportion to the population of a public facility could increase survival rates.
