Sec. 2310-371.5. Heartsaver AED Fund; grants. Subject to appropriation, the Department of Public Health has the power to make matching grants from the Heartsaver AED Fund, a special fund created in the State treasury, to any school in the State, public park district, forest preserve district, conservation district, sheriff's office, municipal police department, municipal recreation department, public library, college, or university to assist in the purchase of an Automated External Defibrillator.

Applicants for AED grants must demonstrate that they have funds to pay 50% of the cost of the AEDs for which matching grant moneys are sought. Any school, public park district, forest preserve district, conservation district, sheriff's office, municipal police department, municipal recreation department, public library, college, or university applying for the grant shall not receive more than one grant from the Heartsaver AED Fund each fiscal year. The State Treasurer shall accept and deposit into the Fund all gifts, grants, transfers, appropriations, and other amounts from any legal source, public or private, that are designated for deposit into the Fund.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in addition to any other transfers that may be provided by law, on June 30, 2026, or as soon thereafter as practical, the State Comptroller shall direct and the State Treasurer shall transfer the remaining balance from the Heartsaver AED Fund into the General Revenue Fund. Upon completion of the transfers, the Heartsaver AED Fund is dissolved, and any future deposits due to that Fund and any outstanding obligations or liabilities of that Fund pass to the General Revenue Fund.
