Establishes provisions relating to allergy prevention and responses in child care facilities
HB 2365 requires licensed child care facilities to stock epinephrine auto-injectors, train staff to recognize and respond to severe allergic reactions, and adopt written allergy management policies by July 2028. Facilities must store devices accessibly, provide staff training on use, and notify emergency services when devices are administered. The bill provides liability protection for staff acting in good faith during emergencies and explicitly excludes public schools from coverage. It directly affects child care facilities by standardizing emergency response protocols for life-threatening allergies.

MINOR
The bill was amended to include two additional bills (HB 2490 and HB 2249) under a single legislative package, expanding the scope of the legislation. The primary substantive change involves replacing the term 'device' with 'system' throughout the text to better describe the epinephrine delivery mechanism, likely to accommodate newer technologies or broader legal definitions.
Scope change
The bill now covers three related bills (2365, 2490, and 2249) instead of just one, suggesting a consolidation of related legislative efforts regarding epinephrine administration.
TECHNICAL
The term 'auto-injector delivery device' was changed to 'auto-injector delivery system' throughout the text to improve terminology consistency and potentially broaden the definition of the equipment covered.
SCOPE
The bill title and header were updated to include House Bills 2490 and 2249, indicating that these related bills are now being processed together as a committee substitute.
