SB 2197 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Epinephrine auto-injectors; allow certain entities to stock and provide or administer during anaphylactic emergencies.

SB 2197 allows authorized entities like schools, restaurants, sports venues, and parks to stock epinephrine auto-injectors under a healthcare provider's prescription. These entities must train designated staff in recognizing severe allergic reactions and administering the device, with initial training plus biennial refreshers required. The bill provides legal immunity for good-faith use during emergencies, regardless of whether the affected person has a prior allergy diagnosis or prescription. It also mandates incident reporting to the Mississippi State Department of Health for annual public review.
