AI Summary
This bill amends the laws of Massachusetts to allow school districts to authorize parents or legal guardians to permit school departments and school bus drivers to administer epinephrine, via an auto-injector, to a child in the event of an allergic emergency. The parent or guardian must provide a letter or prescription from the child's primary care physician notifying the school of the child's allergy and the need for epinephrine administration. The school must then promptly inform the school bus service provider of the child's allergy and provide a copy of the physician's documentation.
