What changed between versions
Changed the definition of 'epinephrine delivery system' to explicitly include intranasal sprays and any device designated by the state board of pharmacy, moving beyond just autoinjectors.
Added definitions for various pharmacy terms such as 'terminal distributor,' 'outsourcing facility,' and 'repackager' to clarify who may legally handle these drugs.
Expanded the list of 'prescribers' authorized to issue orders for epinephrine delivery systems to include dentists, optometrists, and certified mental health assistants.
Added new requirements for written approval forms to include specific instructions on what to do if the first dose does not work or if the student cannot administer the medication themselves.
Updated procurement rules to allow school districts to accept donations of epinephrine delivery systems from manufacturers and distributors.
Clarified that schools and camps are exempt from general wholesale drug distributor licensing requirements when possessing or distributing epinephrine delivery systems for emergency use.
