Provides public access to epinephrine auto-injector devices at schools
This bill requires all public and private schools in the state to act as official providers of emergency epinephrine auto-injectors for students. To comply, schools must keep these devices in working order, report their locations to regional health councils, and post clear signs at entrances indicating where the devices are stored. By formally designating schools as providers, the legislation ensures that these life-saving tools are available to the public in case of a severe allergic reaction. The changes become effective ninety days after the law is signed.
