Georgia

In Georgia, CPR programs are expected to follow key practices that support effective emergency response, including equipment maintenance, user training, device location reporting, coordination with emergency services, incident documentation, and medical oversight. The state’s Good Samaritan law protects people who do CPR. Yet, it doesn’t cover broader program management or specific program standards. High schools and dental or medical offices need CPR devices to boost emergency readiness. These are essential when sedation or anesthesia is given.
