Day care centers; creation of anaphylactic response policy by the Department of Human Resources required, implementation in day care centers required, employee training required

HB 332 requires Alabama's Department of Human Resources to create a mandatory anaphylaxis response policy by August 1, 2027. Licensed day care centers must implement this policy starting January 1, 2028, and notify parents in writing about the policy annually. The bill also mandates that all day care employees complete anaphylaxis training every two years and maintain certification. This policy includes emergency protocols for severe allergic reactions, individualized care plans for children with allergies, and strategies to reduce allergen exposure. It directly affects all licensed day care centers and their staff in Alabama.
