HF1290 (Legislative Session 94 (2025-2026))

Roadside signage for automatic external defibrillators for qualifying locations authorized.

Related bill: SF1395

AI Generated Summary

This bill proposes a new statute in Minnesota to authorize and regulate roadside signage for automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) at qualifying locations. Key provisions include:

  • Businesses or locations with registered outdoor public access AEDs may request local or state road authorities to place directional signage identifying the AED’s location for public use.
  • Signage should be placed approximately 200-300 feet before an intersection or 800-1600 feet before an interchange, where practicable.
  • The signage must clearly indicate the presence of an AED using text, symbols, or both.
  • Participants requesting signage must meet registration and inspection requirements outlined in Minnesota law.
  • Road authorities must install the signage within 60 days of a valid request, but all costs for installation, maintenance, and removal must be covered by the requesting location or business.
  • If an outdoor AED is removed or becomes non-operational, the participant must immediately notify authorities to have the signage removed.
  • Businesses or locations with AEDs must ensure the devices are easily accessible and visibly identified with signage on their premises.

This bill aims to improve public access to AEDs in emergencies by providing clear wayfinding signs while ensuring responsibility for costs and proper maintenance lies with those requesting the signs.
