Bill Summary

General Description: This bill amends provisions related to the storage and administration of glucagon kits in public and private schools.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing Utah law to expand provisions related to glucagon kits in schools, adding new definitions and protocols for their storage and emergency use. Specifically, the bill allows primary and secondary schools, both public and private, to make glucagon kits available to school employees who voluntarily become qualified adults trained in their use. A qualified adult may administer a glucagon kit to a student who has a diabetes diagnosis, a glucagon authorization on file, and is showing symptoms of hypoglycemia (abnormally low blood glucose levels). The bill establishes training requirements for school employees, including techniques for recognizing hypoglycemic emergencies, proper storage and use of glucagon kits, and emergency follow-up procedures. It also provides legal protections for schools, school employees, and healthcare providers who in good faith administer or facilitate the administration of glucagon kits. Additionally, the bill makes technical amendments to related sections of Utah code, such as definitions, pharmacy dispensing protocols, and liability provisions, to integrate the new glucagon kit provisions into existing law. The changes are set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and aim to improve emergency medical response for students with diabetes in school settings.
