To repeal section 192.1000, RSMo Supp. 1997, relating to first responder programs, and to enact
in lieu thereof one new section relating to the same subject.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Section 192.1000, RSMo Supp. 1997, is repealed and one new section enacted in lieu
thereof, to be known as section 190.375, to read as follows:
190.375. 1. Any county or municipality may establish a "First Responder" program to
allow the use of automatic external defibrillators by first responders and firefighters. The
county or municipality governing body may designate ambulance districts or fire districts
to operate the program.
2. The county or municipality shall designate the conditions under which automatic
external defibrillators may be used by first responders and firefighters.
[192.1000. 1. Pursuant to this section, a "First Responder" program may be established which
will allow the use of automatic external defibrillators by first responders.
2. The program established pursuant to subsection 1 of this section shall be in two stages. The
first stage shall be an appropriate pilot project in the following: any county of the first classification which contains a city with a population of one hundred thousand or more inhabitants which
adjoins no other county of the first classification; any county of the first classification without a
charter form of government which adjoins the state of Kansas and has a population greater than
eighty- eight thousand and less than one hundred thousand; any city with a population greater
than seventy thousand which is within a county of the first classification without a charter form
of government and such county adjoins the Missouri River and adjoins another county of the first
classification without a charter form of government; any county of the third classification which
adjoins the state of Arkansas but does not adjoin the Mississippi River and has a population
greater than eighteen thousand and less than twenty-nine thousand; any county of the third
classification with a population greater than twenty-two thousand and less than twenty-five
thousand which adjoins a county of the first classification without a charter form of government
with a population greater than two hundred thousand and such county of the third classification
adjoins five other counties of the third classification; any county of the third classification with a
population less than twenty thousand adjoining both the Mississippi River and a county of the
second classification; and any county of the third classification which adjoins the state of
Arkansas and contains a portion of a lake which has more than three hundred miles of shoreline
within the state of Missouri. Following evaluation of the pilot projects, the department of health
may make recommendations to the legislature regarding statewide implementation of the first
responder early defibrillation.]
