HB 97 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes provisions relating to allergy prevention and responses in child care facilities

HB 97 requires child care facilities (excluding public schools) to stock epinephrine auto-injectors and train staff to recognize severe allergic reactions and administer the device in emergencies. Facilities must develop written allergy management policies covering prevention, staff roles, confidentiality, and coordination with health authorities, with age-appropriate education for children. The bill protects staff and facilities from liability for good-faith use of epinephrine under these guidelines, except in cases of reckless disregard. It also mandates that facilities notify emergency services of epinephrine locations and ensures parental consent is obtained unless a child is in imminent danger.
