Modifies provisions relating to epinephrine products
HB 165 allows students with asthma or anaphylaxis to self-administer prescribed medication in school under specific conditions. It requires a physician's written treatment plan, student demonstration of proper technique, parental consent with a liability acknowledgment, and school staff verification. Schools must maintain emergency epinephrine supplies (auto-injectors or nasal spray) accessible to staff trained to use them during emergencies. The bill also clarifies that administering epinephrine under these rules counts as first aid for liability purposes and prohibits unauthorized use of the devices. This directly affects students with chronic conditions, schools, and school staff.
