Bill > SB328

This bill allows pharmacists to distribute epinephrine delivery systems, which are devices approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration containing a pre-measured dose of epinephrine used to administer it into the human body, to schools for their emergency medication kits, replacing the previous term "auto-injectors" with this broader definition. It also updates the definition of "medication" to include these epinephrine delivery systems and clarifies that a "healthcare provider" who can prescribe such medications includes a physician or a mid-level practitioner, a term defined in Kansas law as a physician assistant or advanced practice registered nurse. The bill aims to ensure schools have access to these life-saving medications for emergencies like severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) or asthma attacks, and it clarifies that pharmacists distributing these systems to schools are protected from civil liability.
