S.944

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

This bill modifies current law regulating the method in which epinephrine is administered in schools, institutions of higher education, and youth camps during emergency circumstances where an individual is experiencing anaphylaxis. It removes references in current law requiring the use of a pre-filled auto-injector mechanism to administer epinephrine and replaces it with the term “single use dose epinephrine.” The bill also allows youth camp operators to develop a policy for the emergency administration of single unit dose epinephrine to a member of the youth camp community for anaphylaxis.
