AI Summary
This bill amends the Public Health Service Act to create a special rule for treating trained individuals who are not school employees as part of a school's trained personnel for the purposes of children's asthma treatment grant programs. Specifically, the bill allows schools to consider non-employee individuals as trained personnel if they meet certain requirements and the state attorney general reaffirms the state's certification. The bill also broadens the language around epinephrine delivery systems, replacing the term "autoinjectable epinephrine" with a more comprehensive "epinephrine delivery systems." Additionally, the bill makes a minor technical correction to a typographical error in the existing law. The overall intent appears to be expanding who can be considered qualified to administer epinephrine in schools, potentially increasing the availability of emergency medical assistance for students with severe allergic reactions. The bill is named "Dillon's Law," though the provided text does not explain the significance of the name.
