Expands epinephrine administration mechanisms in schools, higher education, and youth camps.

This bill modifies current law to broaden the mechanisms for administering epinephrine in emergency situations in schools, institutions of higher education, and youth camps. It removes the requirement for using a pre-filled auto-injector mechanism and replaces it with the term “one use dose epinephrine.” The bill mandates that each board of education or chief school administrator of a nonpublic school develop a policy for the emergency administration of epinephrine to pupils for anaphylaxis.
