Gio’s Law

Gio’s Law (HR 4019) creates a federal grant program to help state and local law enforcement agencies purchase epinephrine auto-injectors and other emergency epinephrine products, and to train officers on recognizing symptoms of severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) and correctly administering the medication. The bill requires the Attorney General to develop standardized training within 180 days of enactment and mandates that states certify officers are protected from civil liability when using epinephrine in good faith. It authorizes $25 million annually for fiscal years 2026-2030 to fund these grants and training. Additionally, the law requires an annual report tracking how often law enforcement officers administer epinephrine during emergencies.
