AN ACT AUTHORIZING EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES PERSONNEL TO ADMINISTER GLUCAGON NASAL POWDER.

SB 1324 allows emergency medical services (EMS) personnel - including certified EMTs, advanced EMTs, and paramedics - to administer glucagon nasal powder when treating severe low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in diabetic patients. The bill requires EMS staff to complete training recognized by the state health commissioner before using the medication, and mandates that all licensed ambulances may carry glucagon nasal powder for this purpose. It directly affects diabetic patients experiencing life-threatening hypoglycemia and EMS providers who respond to such emergencies. The policy change enables faster, on-site treatment without requiring a physician's order during critical incidents.
