Governor Mike DeWine signed House Bill 47 into law July 23, 2024. The new law establishes automated external defibrillator (AED) requirements for municipalities, counties, and townships with over 5,000 residents as well as public and chartered nonpublic schools. The new law will go into effect October 24, 2024, and will be codified as R.C. 755.13(D) and (E).

The Ohio General Assembly did not include funding for municipalities to purchase AEDs in HB 47. Therefore, compliance costs could have a significant financial impact on municipalities. Additionally, there are several statutory ambiguities regarding where AEDs need to be placed, how many AEDs are needed at each location, and staff training requirements that could alter the financial impact.
