AI Summary

This bill aims to require restaurants to maintain a stock supply of non-patient specific epinephrine auto-injectors that can be used in the event of an anaphylactic emergency. The Department of Public Health will create regulations for this, including requirements for storage, quantity, training, and replacement of the auto-injectors. The cost of the epinephrine auto-injectors will be borne by the restaurants, which must also have adequate insurance coverage for employees who administer the emergency assistance. The bill also provides legal protections for employees who volunteer to administer the epinephrine auto-injectors in good faith.
