For legislation to establish food allergy plans. Education.

AI Summary

This bill aims to establish a program within the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to combat food allergies and raise awareness about their prevalence and danger. It also amends existing laws to require schools to maintain a stock supply of non-patient-specific epinephrine (commonly known as EpiPens) for use in anaphylactic emergencies, and to provide legal protections for school personnel who administer such medication. The bill also directs the state to assist schools in obtaining funding for the purchase of EpiPens through grants, donations, and other sources.
