Enacts "Anthony Maruca's Law"; requires law enforcement officers to carry epinephrine.
New Jersey's A827, "Anthony Maruca's Law," requires all state law enforcement officers to carry and be trained in using epinephrine auto-injectors for emergency treatment of severe allergic reactions. The bill mandates that officers complete approved training to administer epinephrine and provides their departments with a one-dose supply per officer, to be kept in patrol vehicles or medical kits. It directly affects all permanent full-time law enforcement officers and their employing agencies across New Jersey. The law aims to ensure officers can provide immediate life-saving aid during anaphylactic emergencies, as highlighted by a case where officers were unable to assist due to lacking epinephrine.
