North Dakota
Since March 2017, North Dakota’s CPR donation programs have only recommended, not required, some things. These are maintenance, training, medical oversight, and documentation. Good Samaritan laws protect individuals only for activities involving CPR use. They do not cover other program elements. All schools must have CPR devices to ensure safety in emergencies.
