Requires employers to include an epinephrine auto-injector device where first aid kits are required by federal law

Bill A 8461 requires private sector employers, such as corporations and businesses, to include an epinephrine auto-injector device in their first aid kits if they are already federally mandated to have first aid supplies. This measure ensures that these devices, used to treat severe allergic reactions, are readily available in workplaces for employees. The bill specifically excludes governmental agencies from this requirement. It is set to take effect 180 days after becoming law.
