Dillon’s Law
Sponsored By: Representative Grothman, Glenn [R-WI-6]
Introduced
Summary
Allows trained non-employees to be treated as a school's "trained personnel" so they can administer epinephrine in schools. It would broaden covered devices to "epinephrine delivery systems" and create a federal preference for states that permit non-employees, subject to state attorney general reaffirmation.
Show full summary
- Families and students: May get quicker access to life-saving epinephrine when trained volunteers or contractors are allowed to respond to allergic emergencies at school.
- Trained non-employees: Volunteers, contractors, or other non-staff individuals who meet the bill's training criteria could be designated as trained personnel and authorized to use epinephrine delivery systems.
- States and school administrators: States must have the attorney general reaffirm certification to use this special rule, so whether schools adopt it will depend on state-level choices and procedures.

Trained volunteers could give epinephrine at school
If enacted, elementary and secondary schools could treat a trained non-employee as trained staff to give epinephrine. The person would need to meet the federal training requirements. The State attorney general would need to reaffirm the State’s certification to allow this. The bill would also use the broader term “epinephrine delivery systems,” not just “auto-injectors.” These changes would take effect upon enactment.
