COMMITTEE REPORT
February 19, 2003
H. 3035
S. Printed 2/19/03--H.
Read the first time January 14, 2003.
To whom was referred a Bill (H. 3035) to amend Section 44-76-30, Code of Laws of South Carolina, 1976, relating to various training and use requirements for persons designated as automated external defibrillator users, etc., respectfully
That they have duly and carefully considered the same and recommend that the same do pass:
JOE E. BROWN for Committee.
EXPLANATION OF IMPACT:
The department indicates there would be some staff time involved in reviewing the various AED courses to insure they meet the requirements of the national standard. The staff would also need to be available to provide information upon request on AED issues. The additional workload could be absorbed by existing personnel.
Approved By:
Don Addy
Office of State Budget
