Bill Summary

Relative to emergency stock supply of epinephrine in schools. Education.

AI Summary

This bill requires each school in Massachusetts to maintain a stock supply of non-patient-specific epinephrine, which is a medication used to treat severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis). The Department of Public Health will create regulations to ensure the epinephrine is stored in an accessible location, the number of auto-injectors is based on the school population, and staff are trained to administer the medication. The bill also provides immunity from civil liability for school staff who administer the epinephrine in good faith during an emergency. The cost of the epinephrine stock will be funded through a surcharge on certain healthcare payers.
