An Act enabling trained school personnel to administer life saving epinephrine treatment

This bill allows trained school staff in Massachusetts to administer life-saving epinephrine auto-injectors to students experiencing anaphylactic shock when a school nurse is not immediately available. To qualify, schools must establish specific policies approved by their administration, ensure staff undergo standardized training and competency testing, and maintain clear protocols for notifying parents and emergency services after treatment. The legislation also provides legal protection for school personnel who act in good faith to save a student's life, shielding them from liability for ordinary negligence during these emergency interventions.
