Bill > H2124

This bill allows public and non-public schools in Massachusetts to register with the state Department of Education to permit trained school personnel to administer epinephrine auto-injectors (commonly known as "EpiPens") to students experiencing a life-threatening allergic reaction when a school nurse is not immediately available. The bill outlines several conditions that must be met, including approval by the school committee or chief administrative officer, training and competency testing of authorized personnel by the school nurse leader, and immediate notification of emergency medical services and the student's parents or guardians following administration of epinephrine. Additionally, the bill provides liability protections for trained school personnel who administer epinephrine in good faith, and allows for epinephrine to be lawfully prescribed and dispensed to registered schools.
