Elijah's Law, introduced in New Jersey, focuses on food allergy safety, emergency preparedness, and anaphylaxis response in child care settings. The law requires child care centers and family day care homes to develop and implement written emergency action policies for food allergy management and anaphylaxis response. It mandates annual allergy and anaphylaxis training for staff, including instruction on food allergy awareness, recognizing allergic reactions, emergency response procedures, and weight-based dosing guidelines.
