Bill overview
The Epi for Dilly Act of 2020 aims to improve access to emergency treatment for severe allergic reactions by encouraging states to allow trained individuals to administer epinephrine. The bill directs the Department of Health and Human Services to give preference to states that permit trained individuals to carry and administer epinephrine and have laws protecting those who administer it from liability. This would help ensure quicker access to life-saving medication in emergency situations.
