Bill > SF2690

This bill modifies Minnesota's existing laws regarding epinephrine access in schools by updating terminology from "epinephrine auto-injectors" to "epinephrine delivery systems" and clarifying procedures for managing life-threatening allergic reactions. The bill requires schools to develop individualized health plans for students who need epinephrine, allowing them to either possess their own epinephrine delivery system or have immediate access to one during the school day. Schools are permitted to maintain a stock supply of epinephrine delivery systems that can be administered by school personnel, including nurses, to students or individuals experiencing anaphylaxis, even without a specific prescription. The bill expands the ability of registered and licensed practical nurses to administer epinephrine under specific protocols and allows schools to obtain these devices from manufacturers at reduced or free prices. Additionally, the bill requires the commissioner of health to provide a standing order for distribution of epinephrine delivery systems, ensuring schools have clear guidelines for managing potential allergic emergencies and providing a standardized approach to protecting students with severe allergies.
