Encourages Hawaii to require AEDs in all state-owned buildings and pursue existing AED programs.

This resolution encourages the State of Hawaii to examine requiring automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in all state-owned buildings and pursue existing AED programs. AEDs are portable devices that can treat cardiac arrest by delivering electrical shocks to restore normal heart rhythm. The resolution highlights the importance of AEDs and training programs to increase survival rates during cardiac arrest. It also notes that while major organizations offer AED education, the state lacks legislatively mandated educational programs.
