Tennessee

In Tennessee, AED programs are expected to follow general operational guidelines that include maintaining equipment, providing proper training, ensuring oversight, activating emergency response systems, and documenting incidents. The state’s Good Samaritan law protects AED owners, users, and CPR or AED instructors. However, it does not cover program physicians and isn’t tied to regulatory compliance. To enhance safety, public schools must have CPR devices on-site. Private schools are encouraged to have them, but they’re not mandatory.
