S 759 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires under certain circumstances development by certified school nurse of individualized health care plan and individualized emergency health care plan for student with life-threatening allergies or anaphylaxis.

This New Jersey bill requires public schools to have certified school nurses develop individualized health care plans and emergency plans for students with life-threatening allergies or anaphylaxis. Parents must provide annual written authorization for these plans, including permission for emergency epinephrine use and, if permitted, student self-management. The plans must detail symptoms, treatment protocols, activity accommodations (like school trips and parties), staff training on recognizing and responding to reactions, and communication procedures. School nurses are responsible for updating the plans annually and ensuring all relevant staff - including those at after-school programs - are trained in managing these conditions.
