AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law to require the Department of Public Health to promulgate regulations governing the administration of medications, including psychotropic medications, to children in school settings. It also prohibits school districts from preventing students with certain medical conditions, such as asthma, life-threatening allergies, cystic fibrosis, and diabetes, from possessing and administering their prescribed medications on school grounds. Additionally, the bill requires schools to allow the storage of epinephrine in secure but unlocked places accessible to authorized personnel, and directs the Department to issue guidance to schools on best practices for stocking epinephrine to ensure student safety while preventing over-stocking.
