Authorize emergency use of albuterol in a school setting
This bill amends Montana law to allow schools to maintain a supply of stock albuterol for emergency use and to permit students with asthma or severe allergies to carry and self-administer their prescribed medication during school hours and related activities. It defines key terms like "stock albuterol" and "authorized personnel" and requires schools to obtain written parental authorization, physician documentation, and proof of the student's ability to use the medication before allowing self-administration. The legislation also establishes liability protections for schools and their employees, limiting their responsibility to cases involving gross negligence, willful misconduct, or intentional torts. Additionally, the bill requires that all necessary documentation be kept on file and mandates that permissions be renewed annually or when medication conditions change.
