Bill > SB1887

This bill modifies the frequency of required training for school personnel regarding food allergies, anaphylaxis (a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction), the administration of epinephrine (a medication used to treat anaphylaxis), and concussions. Specifically, training on food allergies, recognizing anaphylaxis, and administering epinephrine will now be required for teachers and school employees directly responsible for students in their first year of employment and then once every other academic year thereafter, instead of annually. Similarly, game officials and team officials involved in youth sports will now be required to complete concussion training in their first year of involvement and then once every other academic year, rather than annually. The bill also updates statutory references and language related to school medication policies and concussion management guidelines, and it declares an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
