Introduced Text

Massachusetts H5443 aims to increase access to epinephrine autoinjectors in public spaces.

Massachusetts H5443 amends the General Laws to enhance access to epinephrine autoinjectors in public spaces. It requires entities where allergens may be present, such as restaurants and sports arenas, to store and make available epinephrine autoinjectors. These entities must ensure employees or agents are trained to administer the autoinjectors and report incidents to the relevant department. The bill also mandates that the department publish an annual report summarizing these incidents.
