Wisconsin

Wisconsin requires AED programs to maintain devices properly, and health club staff must complete AED training. The Good Samaritan law protects owners, users, and trainers only for AED-related actions, excluding medical directors and other program duties. Immunity is granted only if maintenance rules are followed, but the state does not mandate specific AED placement locations.
