Texas HB2995 allows the state health commissioner to issue a standing order for medication for respiratory distress in schools and permits schools to.

HB2995 amends the Texas Education Code to allow the commissioner of state health services or the chief medical executive of the Department of State Health Services to issue a statewide standing order for medication for respiratory distress in public and private schools. This standing order does not need to be patient-specific and can be administered without a prior physician-patient relationship. Additionally, the bill allows school boards or governing bodies to contract with vendors for medication, related equipment, and training for school personnel and volunteers.
