SB196

Hawaii SB196 mandates public schools to have trained staff for epinephrine administration and requires signs on symptoms and methods of administering.

Hawaii SB196 requires public schools to ensure staff are trained and authorized to administer epinephrine, with a minimum of one trained staff member per hundred students or per floor of accessible school buildings. Public charter schools must also comply with these requirements. The bill mandates that schools prominently display signs detailing anaphylaxis symptoms and the proper method for administering epinephrine. The Department of Education is directed to adopt rules to implement these provisions. Funding is appropriated for training staff in epinephrine administration.
