Colorado

Colorado mandates that CPR programs operate under established guidelines, which include maintaining equipment, training users, coordinating with emergency services, and documenting each incident. Programs must also report device locations and function under appropriate medical oversight. The Colorado Good Samaritan Law protects people who use CPR devices in emergencies. This protection applies only when they follow proper procedures. However, it does not cover broader program administration. To boost public safety, some places in the state must have CPR devices on hand.
