AI Summary

This bill allows public and non-public schools in Massachusetts to register with the Department of Education to permit trained school personnel to administer life-saving epinephrine auto-injectors to students experiencing anaphylactic shock when a school nurse is not immediately available. The bill outlines the necessary conditions for such a program, including approval by the school committee, oversight by the school nurse leader, and training and authorization of school personnel.
