Expanding access to albuterol in public and private schools.

The bill allows school districts and private schools to maintain a supply of albuterol at each school for students experiencing asthma or anaphylaxis. It authorizes licensed health professionals to issue statewide standing orders for albuterol and epinephrine. School districts must adopt policies for in-service training on asthma management and require backup medication to be kept accessible. The bill also outlines procedures for administering albuterol and protects school personnel from liability when administering medication in compliance with prescriptions.
