Strange that it is in a building code. It does not require anything as part of the construction, so why place it in the building code?

AEDs Are Required in California Schools
Under Education Code §35179.6, at least one AED must be present in each California school with an interscholastic athletic program. The AED must be tested and maintained on an ongoing basis, and any expected users (such as coaches) must undergo CPR and AED training.

It's from SREF and state statute. Copied below from SREF and a link to the full version here; https://www.fldoe.org/finance/edual-facilities/sref/
453 is missing whole chapters of SREF, including this section. My guess is they copied this requirement to 468 so private and charter schools will have AEDs and public schools have to follow the full SREF either way so they'll have them too. Universities won't be members of the Florida High School Athletic Association so this wouldn't be applicable to them.
Here's the SREF requirement:
(k) Automated External Defibrillator. Pursuant to section 1006.165, F.S., automated external defibrillators shall be provided in schools that are members of the Florida High School Athletic Association. Where provided, they shall be maintained in a safe, secure, and usable condition.

Odd that they don't require all schools to have it.
