Bill > SB0104

This bill reorganizes and updates laws related to medication administration in schools, clarifying definitions and procedures for various emergency medications. It specifically addresses the use of injectable epinephrine for anaphylaxis, stock albuterol for asthma emergencies, and glucagon kits for hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), defining terms like "qualified adult" (a trained individual authorized to administer medication) and "local education agency" (LEA, a school district or similar entity). The bill aims to ensure that trained school personnel can administer these life-saving medications to students in emergencies, while also outlining requirements for training, medication storage, and parental and healthcare provider authorization. It also clarifies that certain existing laws regarding medication administration do not apply to these specific emergency situations, and provides immunity from liability for those acting in good faith under these provisions. The bill also includes provisions for students to possess and self-administer certain medications, such as epinephrine nasal spray and asthma medication, with proper authorization.
