Illinois

In Illinois, CPR programs are expected to follow key operational practices such as maintaining equipment, providing user training, reporting device locations, coordinating with emergency services, and documenting incidents after use. The state’s Good Samaritan law protects those who own or use CPR devices. They just need to follow the program guidelines. Yet, this protection does not cover other related activities. To improve public safety, CPR devices should be in places like health clubs, police stations, dental offices, school gyms, and horse racing tracks.
