Permits corrections officers, firefighters, and police officers to administer epinephrine auto-injector device.

S 1854 allows corrections officers, firefighters, and police officers in New Jersey to administer epinephrine auto-injectors (like EpiPens) during allergic emergencies. The bill requires these officers to complete a health-approved training program and receive certification, authorizing them to use, maintain, and dispose of the devices. It clarifies that "firefighter" includes public fire department employees or volunteers, and "police officer" covers State, county, or municipal officers. This expands access to life-saving treatment during anaphylaxis by enabling trained first responders to act without immediate medical supervision. The bill amends existing law (P.L.2015, c.215) and was introduced in January 2024.
