Community Access to Emergency Devices Act

 
The Community Access to Emergency Devices Act (Community AED Act) became law on June 12 of this year. The Community AED provisions authorize $30 million in federal grants in the first year of the five-year bill. The grants, to be made available to applying states and localities, would be used for the purchase and placement of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in public places where cardiac arrests are likely to occur. Provisions of the AED measure were incorporated into the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Response Act, which Congress passed on May 24, then sent to the President's desk to be signed into law.
