Bill > SB351

This bill expands the types of single-dose epinephrine delivery systems that public schools and other authorized entities can use to treat life-threatening allergic reactions, known as anaphylaxis. It clarifies that these systems, which are approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration and contain a premeasured dose of epinephrine, can be administered by trained school personnel or other designated individuals. The bill also updates definitions and provisions related to the storage, administration, and immunity from liability for those involved in providing and using these epinephrine delivery systems, ensuring that authorized entities and their employees are protected from civil damages unless their actions are willful or wanton. This legislation aims to improve preparedness and response to severe allergic reactions in school settings and other public organizations.
