SB2837

SB2837 allows Illinois schools to administer asthma medication, epinephrine injectors, and opioid antagonists in emergencies.

SB2837 amends the Illinois School Code to allow schools to administer asthma medication, epinephrine injectors, and opioid antagonists in emergencies. It requires schools to report administration of these medications to the State Board of Education. The bill also mandates training for school personnel on recognizing and responding to asthma, anaphylaxis, and opioid overdoses. It provides immunity from liability for schools and personnel, except in cases of willful misconduct, when administering these medications.
