AI Summary

This bill allows trained school personnel to administer life-saving epinephrine treatment to students experiencing a severe allergic reaction (anaphylactic shock) when a school nurse is not immediately available. The bill outlines several conditions that must be met, including school committee/administration approval, training and oversight by a designated school nurse leader, and immediate notification of emergency services and the student's parents. The bill also grants liability protection to school personnel who administer epinephrine in good faith during an emergency. Additionally, the bill enables schools to obtain prescriptions for and maintain epinephrine kits on campus.
