Current IL law requires school districts to have an AED on the premise of every indoor physical fitness facility – HB 1279 requires an AED also at every outdoor physical fitness facility. This bill requires an AED to be housed in a building that is within 300 feet of the outdoor athletic facility where "an event or activity" is being conducted. If there is no such building, the person responsible for supervising the activity shall ensure that an AED is available during the time of the event or activity. Schools must comply with this bill by July 1,2009.– www.ilga.gov
