Cardiac Arrest Survival Act of 1999

Cardiac Arrest Survival Act of 1999 - Amends the Public Health Service Act to direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to: (1) assist in providing for an improvement in the survival rates of individuals who experience cardiac arrest in Federal buildings by publishing in the Federal Register for public comment recommendations with respect to placing automatic external defibrillators in such buildings; (2) assist Federal agencies in implementing programs for such placement; (3) publish recommendations for the placement of such defibrillators in other buildings, facilities, or venues frequented by the public; and (4) consider the goals established by national public health organizations for improving survival rates of individuals who experience heart attacks in nonhospital settings. Directs the head of each Federal agency that occupies a Federal building to submit an assessment of the agency's ability to meet such goals.

Requires the Secretary to determine criteria for: (1) the selection of the Federal public buildings in which defibrillators should be placed; (2) defibrillator maintenance; and (3) the coordination of the use of the defibrillators in public buildings, facilities, or other venues with emergency medical services providers for the geographic areas in which the buildings are located.

Provides that any person who provides emergency medical care through the use of a defibrillator, and the person who acquired the device (if specified conditions have been met) are immune from civil liability for any personal injury or wrongful death resulting from the provision of such care, unless the person engaged in gross negligence or willful or wanton misconduct under the applicable circumstances, or the person was a licensed or certified medical professional who was using the defibrillator while acting within the scope of employment as a medical professional.
