Illinois

Illinois mandates that CPR programs include device maintenance, user training, location reporting, emergency services notification, and post-use documentation. Good Samaritan immunity protects CPR users and device owners. It covers their actions related to device operation. It does not cover other program tasks. It is contingent on meeting specific guidelines. The state requires health clubs, police, dental offices, school gyms, and horse racing venues to install CPR devices.
