A 3067 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Extends "Epinephrine Access and Emergency Treatment Act" to include administration of epinephrine auto-injector devices by individuals in possession of devices pursuant to personal prescriptions.

This bill (A3067) amends New Jersey's "Epinephrine Access and Emergency Treatment Act" to allow any person who possesses an epinephrine auto-injector device under a valid personal prescription (or for their minor child) to administer it to someone experiencing anaphylaxis or another serious condition treatable with epinephrine. It directly affects individuals with such prescriptions, including parents or guardians of children with allergies. The key provision expands the current law - which previously required certification - to permit immediate emergency use by prescription holders without needing prior training. The bill also adds liability protection for these individuals acting in good faith during emergencies, aligning with the existing protections for certified administrators.
