AEDs in Oklahoma schools
Oklahoma reaches schools through a required cardiac emergency response plan (CERP). Every public school CERP; AED must be at or within 1-3 min of each middle/high school athletic venue (SB 1921, 2024). The law is 70 O.S. 1210.200 and SB 1921 (2024). A CERP that places AEDs means the school has to buy them.
AEDs in Oklahoma gyms and health clubs
Oklahoma has no statewide AED mandate for gyms or health clubs. Many clubs still keep one because members are high-risk and insurers ask about it.
Workplaces and government buildings in Oklahoma
We found no general Oklahoma law that requires private employers to have an AED, and no verified mandate for state buildings. Federal OSHA does not require AEDs either, though it encourages employers to consider them. Local fire codes and building codes can add requirements, so check with your local authority.
Good Samaritan protection in Oklahoma
Every state protects people who use an AED in good faith from civil liability (SCA Foundation review of state AED laws). Most of these laws expect the AED to be maintained and, in some states, registered with local EMS. A unit with expired pads or a dead battery can weaken the protection.
