Expands epinephrine administration mechanisms permitted in schools.
This bill expands the types of epinephrine devices schools may use during anaphylaxis emergencies. It replaces the current requirement for "pre-filled auto-injectors" with permission to use **any FDA-approved epinephrine administration mechanism**, including devices like vials or syringes. The policy still requires parental authorization, physician orders, and school staff training, while maintaining liability protections for schools. It directly affects students with severe allergies, school nurses, and trained staff who administer emergency care in New Jersey public and nonpublic schools.
