An Act to establish food allergy plans

This bill requires Massachusetts schools to create and maintain comprehensive Food Allergy Management and Prevention Plans for any student with life-threatening food allergies. These plans must cover all school staff, including teachers, nurses, cafeteria workers, and bus drivers, and must be updated at least every two years. The legislation mandates that districts provide training to staff on recognizing allergic reactions and administering epinephrine, while the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education will publish model plans and guidelines to assist schools in implementation.
