Permits school bus driver to administer epinephrine to student in emergency under certain circumstances.
This bill allows trained school bus drivers to administer epinephrine to students experiencing anaphylaxis (severe allergic reactions) during school transportation. It requires parental written consent, physician authorization for the student's condition, school notification of no liability, a parental liability waiver, and mandatory training for bus drivers using standardized protocols. The policy affects students with known severe allergies, school bus drivers (who volunteer and complete training), and school districts or contractors. Liability protections apply for good-faith actions, excluding willful misconduct, and the bill takes effect for the first full school year after enactment.
