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. The law requires schools to register with the state, establish specific policies, and ensure that any personnel authorized to give the medication are properly trained and tested by a designated school nurse. Key provisions mandate immediate notification of emergency services and parents after administration, while also granting legal protection to staff who act in good faith during such emergencies. Schools may store the medication in a secure but unlocked location, and the bill clarifies that prescriptions for these kits issued to schools are considered legitimate medical practices.
