Bill Summary

To amend sections 3313.718 and 3314.141 of the Revised Code regarding student use of a nasal epinephrine delivery device.

AI Summary

This bill amends Ohio law to allow students in public and chartered nonpublic schools to possess and use nasal epinephrine delivery devices, in addition to existing epinephrine autoinjectors, to treat anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction). The bill requires that students obtain written approval from a prescriber and, if the student is a minor, from a parent or guardian. The written approval must include detailed information such as the student's name, medication details, usage instructions, emergency contact numbers, and potential adverse reactions. School principals and nurses must receive copies of these approvals and a backup dose of the medication. The bill also provides liability protections for school districts, school employees, and community schools when they either prohibit or allow student use of these devices in good faith, based on whether the specified conditions have been met. Furthermore, the bill ensures that schools are not liable for damages if a student uses the nasal epinephrine delivery device, even if it was not originally prescribed for them. This legislation aims to help students with severe allergies manage their condition safely while at school or school-related activities.
