A 184 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Requires epinephrine auto-injector devices at children's overnight, summer day and traveling summer camps

This bill requires all children's overnight camps, summer day camps, and traveling summer day camps in New York to maintain epinephrine auto-injector devices on-site and have a collaborative agreement with an emergency healthcare provider. Camps must ensure staff complete approved training for device use, report each use to the healthcare provider, and follow department regulations for storage and disposal. The law clarifies that using epinephrine under this requirement is considered first aid, not unauthorized medical practice, and protects users from liability. It directly affects camp operators and staff who care for children with severe allergies. The bill takes effect 180 days after enactment.
