Overview
This bill expands the ways schools can administer epinephrine to students experiencing anaphylaxis. Currently, schools are required to use pre-filled auto-injectors. This legislation allows for the use of any FDA-approved epinephrine administration device, such as syringes or pens, provided certain conditions are met, including parental authorization, physician orders, and a release of liability for the school district. It also clarifies the role of school nurses and allows trained designees to administer epinephrine in emergency situations when the nurse is unavailable.
