Bill Summary
Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes. Changes the term "undesignated ready-to-use glucagon" to "undesignated glucagon". Makes changes to allow a school nurse or trained personnel to provide undesignated glucagon to any personnel authorized under a student's Individual Health Care Action Plan, in accordance with the student's prescriber's order or federal Section 504 plan, individualized education program, or other written accommodations plan, to administer glucagon to the student and to administer undesignated glucagon to a student in accordance with the student's prescriber's order, Individual Health Care Action Plan, or Section 504 plan, individualized education program, or other written accommodations plan that authorizes the use of glucagon. Removes language that allows a school nurse or trained personnel to administer undesignated ready-to-use glucagon to any person whom the school nurse or trained personnel in good faith believes to be experiencing a severe hypoglycemia emergency while in school, while at a school-sponsored activity, while under the supervision of school personnel, or before or after normal school activities. Provides for the reporting of the age of the student receiving the undesignated glucagon (rather than the age and type of person receiving the undesignated ready-to-use glucagon). Makes related changes.
AI Summary
This bill allows school districts, public schools, charter schools, and nonpublic schools to authorize school nurses or trained personnel to administer "undesignated ready-to-use glucagon," which is a pre-packaged glucagon rescue therapy approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that doesn't need reconstitution and can be rapidly administered for severe hypoglycemia emergencies. This means these authorized personnel can provide this medication to students who have a plan allowing its use, or administer it to any student whose prescription on file matches the medication, or even to any person the school nurse or trained personnel believes in good faith is experiencing a severe hypoglycemia emergency. The bill also makes related changes concerning liability protection for schools and personnel, where and when the medication can be administered, how supplies are maintained, notifying parents or guardians after administration, required training for personnel, and reporting administration to the State Board of Education, General Assembly, and Department of Public Health. This expands existing provisions that already allow for the administration of undesignated asthma medication and epinephrine injectors (used to treat severe allergic reactions, also known as anaphylaxis) in similar emergency situations.
