Bill > SR204

This resolution requests the Hawaii Department of Education to establish a pilot program in public and charter schools to train and authorize staff members in epinephrine administration, which is critical for responding to anaphylaxis - a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. The program would require schools to have at least one trained staff member per 100 students or per floor/school building, and to display clear signage about anaphylaxis symptoms and proper epinephrine administration techniques. The resolution acknowledges that quick access to and proper administration of epinephrine can significantly improve health outcomes and potentially save lives, particularly for students and staff with life-threatening allergies. The Department of Education would be asked to submit a report on the pilot program's findings and recommendations to the Legislature before the 2026 Regular Session, with a copy of the resolution to be transmitted to the Superintendent of Education.
