Bill > H556

This bill amends existing laws to require schools to maintain a stock supply of epinephrine auto-injectors, which are devices used to administer the medication epinephrine in the event of an anaphylactic emergency. The bill specifies that the epinephrine auto-injectors must be stored in an easily accessible location, and that the number and type of auto-injectors required will be based on the school population. The bill also provides liability protection for school personnel who administer the epinephrine in good faith, and requires the costs of the epinephrine auto-injectors to be covered through a surcharge on certain health insurance payers.
