Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Easier access to epinephrine and opioid antidotes

Starting July 1, 2026, a practitioner or pharmacist can prescribe epinephrine or an opioid antidote without an existing patient relationship if they act in good faith and use reasonable care. The Board of Pharmacy, with the Board of Medicine, sets rules for pharmacist prescribing. A practitioner can issue a standing order so an organization can keep these medicines on hand. The organization must adopt an anaphylaxis or overdose treatment policy that follows Department of Health rules. Agencies must write the rules needed to put these changes into practice.

Good faith immunity for emergency help

Starting July 1, 2026, people who act in good faith when giving epinephrine or an opioid antidote are immune from civil and criminal liability for damages. Practitioners and pharmacists who prescribe under this law and entities with required policies are also immune. Prescribing under this law is not unprofessional conduct. The law does not create a duty to prescribe or give these medicines.

Schools can stock and use epinephrine

Starting July 1, 2026, school boards can let schools keep a stock supply of epinephrine. Trained staff or a nurse can give it in good faith to a student having a severe allergic reaction. Districts do not need individual prescriptions and may buy devices at free, reduced, or fair market prices. The state gives schools guidance on who qualifies, allowed devices and methods, staff training, incident records, and lists of trained staff. The law defines key terms for stock epinephrine and clearly treats epinephrine pens as life‑threatening medicines for school rules. Schools, staff, and prescribers are not liable for ordinary negligence; gross, willful, or wanton negligence is not protected.
