Bill > HB0333

This bill updates and expands definitions and regulations surrounding epinephrine medication administration in schools and other settings, primarily focusing on three key types of epinephrine delivery methods: injectable epinephrine rescue medication, epinephrine nasal spray, and existing epinephrine auto-injectors. The bill modifies multiple sections of Utah law to standardize terminology, clarify training requirements, and provide more comprehensive guidelines for schools and other organizations that might need to administer emergency epinephrine. Specifically, the bill allows students to possess and self-administer epinephrine nasal spray and injectable epinephrine rescue medication with parental and healthcare provider authorization, requires schools to make training available for staff who volunteer to become qualified adults in administering these medications, and establishes protocols for obtaining, storing, and dispensing epinephrine. The legislation also provides liability protections for schools, healthcare providers, and qualified adults who administer epinephrine in good faith during potential anaphylactic emergencies. Additionally, the bill updates definitions to ensure clarity and consistency across different sections of Utah law, with an effective date of May 7, 2025, indicating a careful approach to implementing these important safety measures.
