HB 5054 modifies Michigan's school code to clarify protections for school staff administering epinephrine auto-injectors during emergencies and to streamline student access to necessary medical devices. It ensures school employees (including non-nurses) aren’t liable for civil damages or criminal charges when administering epinephrine in good faith during life-threatening situations, except for gross negligence. The bill also allows students with asthma or severe allergies to possess and use prescribed inhalers or epinephrine devices at school, on transportation, or at school events, provided they have written medical approval and an emergency care plan on file. These changes directly affect school staff, students with medical conditions requiring epinephrine or inhalers, and school administrators managing health protocols.
