In New Hampshire, AED programs are mandated to incorporate AED registration as part of their implementation. Under the Good Samaritan law in the state, AED owners and users are provided protection, albeit limited to AED-related activities exclusively. However, other aspects of AED program activities do not fall under this protection. AED owners enjoy a wider scope of covered activities. Additionally, New Hampshire stipulates the requirement for AEDs to be installed in all dialysis centers across the state.
