Bill > S1514

This bill addresses anaphylaxis management in Florida public and charter schools serving kindergarten through 8th grade. It requires school districts and charter school boards to ensure that an adequate number of school personnel receive comprehensive training on preventing and responding to severe allergic reactions, specifically focusing on recognizing anaphylaxis symptoms and correctly using FDA-approved epinephrine auto-injectors with weight-based dosing. The bill mandates that each student with an anaphylaxis emergency action plan must have that plan fully accessible and effective at all times during school hours, including during extracurricular activities, athletics, school dances, and before or after-school programs. Additionally, the State Board of Education, in collaboration with the Department of Health, is required to develop and adopt an approved training curriculum by October 1, 2025, with the entire legislation set to take effect on July 1, 2025. The goal of this bill is to enhance student safety by ensuring school staff are prepared to quickly and effectively respond to potentially life-threatening allergic reactions.
