In Indiana, AED programs are mandated to integrate maintenance, AED placement notification, and EMS activation. Additionally, all high school students are required to undergo CPR and AED training. The Good Samaritan law extends protection to all users of AED programs. Immunity from liability is contingent upon adherence to specified administrative and operational regulations. Furthermore, Indiana mandates the placement of AEDs in health clubs.
