Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Schools can stock and use epinephrine

Schools may keep a stock supply of epinephrine devices. Authorized clinicians can prescribe them in the school’s name, and pharmacists can fill those prescriptions. School leaders can let nurses and trained staff give epinephrine to a student with a prescription on file or to anyone they in good faith believe is having a severe allergic reaction. Schools may make deals with device makers or suppliers to get devices at full price, a lower price, or free. Covered devices are FDA-approved and contain a premeasured dose.

Students can carry epinephrine at school

School boards must let students self-administer medication for severe allergies. A student with a prescription or written doctor direction can carry and use an epinephrine device at all times on school grounds.

School epinephrine training, reports, and shields

School leaders must set training standards for staff who handle epinephrine. Training can be online and must cover recognizing anaphylaxis, giving the drug, safe storage and disposal, and emergency follow-up. Schools that keep a stock supply must report every severe allergic event or use of epinephrine to the board or its designee. Health providers and schools are shielded from civil lawsuits for reasonable actions, but not for gross negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct.
