An Act relative to undesignated glucagon rescue therapies in schools

This bill requires Massachusetts public schools to maintain a supply of ready-to-use glucagon rescue therapy for emergency treatment of severe hypoglycemia (dangerously low blood sugar) in students with diabetes. It mandates school districts to obtain standing orders from a licensed health care provider authorizing the medication's use, allowing school personnel to administer it without an individual student's prescription when needed. The law provides legal immunity for school staff who follow proper protocols and requires schools to call 911 and notify parents/health providers after administration. It directly affects students with diabetes, school nurses, and all school staff who may need to respond to hypoglycemic emergencies. The policy change ensures schools have immediate access to this life-saving treatment during school hours and school activities.
