North Dakota
Since March 2017, North Dakota has been flexible with CPR donation programs. They now offer recommendations rather than strict rules. The guidance promotes good device care, training, medical supervision, and keeping records. These steps help ensure a strong emergency response. The state’s Good Samaritan law protects people who perform CPR. However, it does not cover other parts of program management. To boost emergency readiness, schools in the state must have CPR devices on hand for medical emergencies.
