A 3655 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Extends "Epinephrine Access and Emergency Treatment Act" to include administration of epinephrine auto-injector devices by individuals in possession of devices pursuant to personal prescriptions.

This bill expands New Jersey's Epinephrine Access and Emergency Treatment Act to allow any person with a personal prescription for an epinephrine auto-injector (or for their minor child) to administer it to someone experiencing an anaphylactic or similar emergency. Previously, only individuals who completed a certified training program could legally administer the device; this change directly affects people who carry personal prescriptions but haven't completed such training. The key mechanism permits administration by anyone in possession of a valid prescription, without requiring prior certification. The bill also provides liability protection for such actions performed in good faith during emergencies.
