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

This bill (S 1695) allows corrections officers, firefighters, and police officers to administer epinephrine auto-injectors after completing an approved training program. It directly affects these public safety personnel by authorizing them to use the devices to treat severe allergic reactions, following certification from the Commissioner of Health. Key provisions require completion of a state-approved educational program for certification, permit health care professionals to prescribe devices via standing orders, and allow employers to maintain stock under commissioner-established protocols. The bill amends existing law (P.L.2015, c.215) to explicitly include these officers, clarifying their existing authority without creating new requirements.
