Wyoming

Wyoming requires AED programs to comply with guidelines for maintenance, training, placement reporting, and post-event documentation. The Good Samaritan law provides liability protection for AED use but does not cover other program aspects, with immunity granted only if administrative requirements are met. Dentist offices must also have an AED on-site.
