Texas HB350 allows schools to manage glucagon medication for students with diabetes.

Texas HB350 amends the Health and Safety Code to allow school districts, open-enrollment charter schools, and private schools to adopt policies for the maintenance, administration, and disposal of glucagon medication. School nurses and unlicensed diabetes care assistants can administer glucagon to students experiencing hypoglycemia, provided a diabetes management and treatment plan is submitted. The bill also allows schools to seek non-healthcare professionals as unlicensed diabetes care assistants. Pharmacists can dispense glucagon without requiring identifying information from the user.
