A 234 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits corrections officers, firefighters, and police officers to administer epinephrine auto-injector device.

This bill (A234) allows corrections officers, firefighters, and police officers in New Jersey to administer epinephrine auto-injector devices after completing approved training. It requires these officers to finish an educational program approved by the Commissioner of Health, after which they receive a certificate authorizing them to administer, maintain, and dispose of the devices. The law explicitly expands the current scope of who may use these devices beyond licensed health care professionals. It does not change existing protocols for prescribing or supplying the devices, which remain under the authority of licensed health care professionals.
