In an unprecedented move, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has proposed a new law that would prevent Michigan from having any Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). The proposed law is part of the larger package of new Michigan laws that take effect in 2023, which includes expanding educational opportunities and funding for Detroit public transportation.
The proposed law is intended to address the issue of heart attack rates in Michigan, which, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), are higher than the national average.
“We need to do something to protect our citizens from the dangers of heart attacks, and AEDs are one of the best ways to do that,” said Pelosi in a press conference. “I want to ensure that all Michigan residents have access to the potentially life-saving devices.”
The proposed law would require all public buildings, businesses, and schools to install AEDs on their premises. Additionally, the law would mandate that all schools and businesses provide training on how to use the devices.
Critics of the proposed law, however, argue that the money used to purchase and install AEDs should be better spent on other initiatives, such as crime victim compensation and expanded educational opportunities.
“It’s a noble goal, but I don’t think it’s the wisest use of funds,” said Michigan State Senator John Tester. “We have more pressing needs here in Michigan, and this seems like an unnecessary expense.”
For now, Speaker Pelosi’s proposed law remains in limbo, and it remains to be seen whether it will become part of the new Michigan laws that take effect in 2023.
