Health: pharmaceuticals; administration of epinephrine; modify. Amends title & secs. 1, 2 & 3 of 2020 PA 312 (MCL 28.821 et seq.). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5054'25, HB 5049'25, HB 5050'25, HB 5052'25, HB 5053'25

HB 5051 amends Michigan's law to allow trained law enforcement officers and firefighters to administer epinephrine auto-injectors to individuals experiencing severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), even without a prescription or prior allergy diagnosis. It requires responders to complete training on proper administration and permits eligible entities (like police departments or fire stations) to purchase and distribute epinephrine devices to their staff. The bill provides legal immunity from civil liability for entities and responders acting in good faith, unless their conduct involves gross negligence or willful misconduct. This directly affects first responders who may use the devices during emergencies and individuals suffering acute allergic reactions.
