Requires ambulances in South Carolina to carry epinephrine auto-injectors and be staffed by certified personnel.
The bill mandates that all ambulances operating in South Carolina must be equipped with epinephrine auto-injectors and staffed by at least one emergency medical technician or attendant certified to administer them. This requirement does not override any federal or state laws on ambulance staffing levels. The Department of Public Health is authorized to create regulations to enforce these provisions. An epinephrine auto-injector is defined as a single-use device for automatic injection of a premeasured dose of epinephrine.
