Bill > SB1347

This bill clarifies and expands the provisions allowing schools to keep emergency stock albuterol inhalers, which are devices used to deliver a bronchodilator medication to help open airways during respiratory distress, a sudden difficulty breathing. The bill redefines "local educational agency" to encompass schools operated by school districts, county offices of education, or charter schools, and makes the existing authorization for providing and using these inhalers apply to these agencies. It also updates the definition of a "stock albuterol inhaler" to include metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) and necessary holding chambers, and specifies that these inhalers are ordered by a healthcare provider but not prescribed for a specific individual. The bill also makes minor technical changes to language regarding mail-order pharmacies and private schools.
