Maddy summaryThis bill allows camp operators and staff to give children over-the-counter or prescription medications during emergencies like asthma attacks, anaphylaxis, or seizures. It directly affects children at overnight, summer day, or traveling summer camps, as well as the camp staff who may administer care. The key provision requires parent or guardian authorization and compliance with health department rules, ensuring staff act under parental direction during medical emergencies. It amends public health and education laws to clarify this authority without creating new requirements for camps.
