AI Summary
This bill amends Kentucky law to include intranasal epinephrine as a medication that can be used to treat anaphylaxis, which is a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction. It also allows schools to keep intranasal epinephrine devices on hand, in addition to injectable epinephrine and bronchodilator rescue inhalers, to be administered to any student experiencing a severe allergic reaction or asthma symptoms. This expansion aims to provide more options for emergency treatment of these conditions within schools.
