RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CFIULA
VISTA SUPPORTING SB 911 (FIGUERQA), EMERGENCY CARE
WHEREAS, SB 911 would expand California's Good Samaritan law by affording legal
protection to trained users of automated external defibrillators (AEDs), just as it does to those
who perform Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR); and
WHEREAS, the bill would provide immunity from civil liability, but would also include
training requirements similar to those for CPR; and
WHEREAS, although the passage of SB 911 does not guarantee that more AEDs will
be purchased and made available at public gathering places, this bill will remove one of the
primary impediments to their use; and
WHEREAS, the recommendation to support SB 911 is based on the desire of the
Legislative Committee to afford common sense protection to trained users of AEDs which, in
turn, has the potential to increase the survival rate of those who suffer sudden cardiac arrest
in public gathering place.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula Vista
does hereby support SB 911 (Figueroa), Emergency Care.
