The State of Connecticut has issued an AED Law that requires fitness clubs to have an AED on site in case of an emergency.  The Connecticut Fitness Club AED Law states the following:

"(A) (i) provide and maintain in a central location on the premises of the health club at least one automatic external defibrillator, as defined in section 19a-175, and (ii) make such central location known and accessible to employees of such health club, (B) ensure that at least one employee is on the premises of such health club during staffed business hours who is trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the use of an automatic external defibrillator in accordance with the standards set forth by the American Red Cross or American Heart Association, (C) maintain and test the automatic external defibrillator in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines, and (D) promptly notify a local emergency medical services provider after each use of such automatic external defibrillator;"
