A 1882 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Concerns administration of ready-to-use undesignated glucagon rescue therapy in public schools.

This bill requires New Jersey public schools to maintain a supply of ready-to-use undesignated glucagon (a pre-packaged emergency treatment for severe low blood sugar) and establish standing orders for its administration. It directly affects students with diabetes, school employees (including nurses, bus drivers, and aides), and school districts, which must ensure the glucagon is accessible and stored properly. Key provisions mandate that school staff may administer the glucagon per a student’s individualized emergency health plan during severe hypoglycemia incidents, including on school buses or field trips, and provide immediate emergency medical assistance afterward. The bill also protects school employees from liability for good-faith administration under these guidelines.
