AI Summary
This bill modifies existing Oregon laws to allow for the administration of epinephrine, a medication used to treat severe allergic reactions, in schools through methods beyond traditional injections. It defines "premeasured dose" to include epinephrine administered via autoinjectors, intranasal devices, or other methods approved by the State Board of Education or the Oregon Health Authority. The bill also broadens the training requirements for school personnel involved in administering epinephrine, ensuring they are equipped to handle various administration methods. Furthermore, it clarifies that school personnel and districts are protected from liability when administering a premeasured dose of epinephrine in good faith to a student or individual experiencing a severe allergic reaction, even if that person does not have a prescription for it, as long as the administration is not due to gross negligence or willful misconduct.
