Concerns administration of ready-to-use undesignated glucagon rescue therapy in public schools.
This bill requires New Jersey public school districts to obtain and maintain ready-to-use glucagon rescue therapy for students with diabetes who may experience severe low blood sugar. It authorizes trained school employees to administer this medication in emergencies when authorized by a student's individualized emergency health care plan, covering settings including classrooms, buses, and offsite activities. The legislation also provides legal protection for school staff acting in good faith when administering the medication and clarifies that using syringes for this purpose does not violate existing drug possession laws.
