Michigan HB5049 modifies school policies to ensure epinephrine auto-injectors are available for students with severe allergies.

Michigan HB5049 amends existing law to require school districts to develop and implement policies for the administration of epinephrine auto-injectors in schools. These policies must authorize trained school employees to administer epinephrine to students with prescriptions on file. The policies must also ensure that each school has at least two trained employees and at least two epinephrine auto-injectors available. The bill mandates annual reporting on epinephrine administrations and allows for state reimbursement for compliance costs.
