In Alaska, as of August 12, 2015, there are no longer any specified administrative or operational obligations imposed on AED programs. The Good Samaritan immunity provision extends protection exclusively to individuals involved in AED program activities, such as those who own or utilize an AED during a medical emergency. However, this immunity does not encompass medical directors or trainers. Furthermore, Alaska does not mandate any specific locations for the placement of AEDs.
