Minnesota HF2489 modifies requirements for access to epinephrine in schools, allowing schools to maintain and administer epinephrine auto-injectors.

Minnesota HF2489 amends state statutes to allow schools to possess and administer epinephrine auto-injectors to students or individuals experiencing anaphylaxis, regardless of whether they have a prescription. The bill permits schools to enter into arrangements with manufacturers to obtain these devices at fair-market, free, or reduced prices. It also allows third parties to fund a school's supply of epinephrine auto-injectors. The commissioner of health must provide a standing order for distribution and a condition-specific protocol.
