New Jersey S155 permits school bus drivers to administer epinephrine to students in emergency situations, provided specific conditions are met. These conditions include the student's parent or guardian providing written authorization, a physician's written orders, and the driver being properly trained. The school district, nonpublic school, and school bus contractor are exempt from liability for good faith actions, excluding willful misconduct, gross negligence, or recklessness. The bill also mandates the State Board of Education to create regulations to implement these provisions.
