Massachusetts H671 mandates schools to have ready-to-use glucagon rescue therapies for students with diabetes.
Massachusetts H671 requires school districts to obtain standing orders for ready-to-use glucagon rescue therapies, which can be administered by licensed health professionals. These therapies can be used on school property and during field trips. Schools must call 911 after administering glucagon. The bill also provides immunity from liability for school personnel, the school district, and the school if they administer the therapy in accordance with written policies.
