In 2006, Health and Safety Code §104113 was passed into law which requires health studios throughout the state to acquire and maintain defibrillators. There has been a great deal of concern that this applies to gyms maintained by homeowners associations because health studies were broadly defined to include facilities that maintained body building equipment.

Not Applicable to CIDs. On February 1, 2007, the Legislative Counsel of California issued an opinion that fitness facilities operated or maintained by common interest developments do NOT fall under this statute and were not required to maintain defibrillators.
