Bill > HB263

This bill allows for "undesignated glucagon," which is glucagon prescribed to a school rather than an individual student, to be available in schools to treat diabetic emergencies. Healthcare practitioners can prescribe this undesignated glucagon to authorized entities, which are defined as schools with trained individuals. These trained individuals, who are school employees or contractors who have completed specific training, can then administer the glucagon to a student experiencing severe low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) or other conditions outlined in the student's diabetes medical management plan, especially when a school nurse isn't immediately available. Schools will be able to stock this medication, and those involved in its prescription, dispensing, or administration in good faith will be protected from civil liability for any resulting personal injury, unless there is gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Cabinet for Health and Family Services will work with the American Diabetes Association to create rules for how this program will operate in schools.
