AI Summary
This bill amends Florida law to require school districts to implement comprehensive policies for managing anaphylaxis (severe allergic reactions) in public schools. Specifically, the bill mandates that each district school board ensure emergency action plans for students with allergies are effective at all times, including during extracurricular activities, athletics, school dances, and before- and after-school programs. School personnel must receive training on preventing and responding to allergic reactions, with this training specifically including instruction on administering emergency epinephrine through autoinjectors and nasal sprays. At least one trained staff member must be present on school grounds to execute a student's emergency action plan. The State Board of Education is authorized to develop and approve the training curriculum for this new requirement. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, giving schools time to prepare and implement the new policies and training programs.
