Relating to the use of an epinephrine delivery device by certain entities.
HB 2283 amends Texas Education Code to establish specific rules for schools and colleges regarding epinephrine devices and respiratory medication. It creates a new Subchapter E defining "epinephrine delivery devices" (including auto-injectors and nasal spray) and "medication for respiratory distress," while removing compliance requirements for school districts maintaining these devices. The bill mandates an advisory committee to review storage, training, and staffing protocols for administering these treatments on school campuses. This directly affects all public school districts, charter schools, private schools, and colleges in Texas by standardizing emergency response procedures for anaphylaxis and respiratory distress.
