House Bill 392 amends the Health and Safety Code to require convalescent homes, nursing homes, and related institutions to have available for use an automated external defibrillator and requires each institution to comply with provisions of law relating to the training, use, and notification requirements for automated external defibrillators. The bill requires use of an automated external defibrillator to be consistent with a resident's advance directive executed or issued under provisions relating to out-of-hospital do-not-resuscitate orders and requires an institution to employ at least one person trained in the proper use of an automated external defibrillator.
