Bill > HB3454

This bill amends various Illinois Acts to replace the terms "epinephrine auto-injector" and "epinephrine injector" with the broader term "FDA approved epinephrine delivery device or product," which refers to any device or product approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for administering epinephrine, a life-saving medication for severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis). This change aims to modernize terminology and encompass a wider range of approved devices. Additionally, the bill renames the "Epinephrine Injector Act" to the "FDA Approved Epinephrine Delivery Device or Product Act" to reflect this updated terminology. The bill also makes conforming changes in laws related to the Illinois State Police, police training, schools, insurance coverage, medical practice, and food and drug regulations to ensure consistency with the new terminology.
