HB 2801 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the definition of an epinephrine delivery device and the use of those devices in public and private schools.

HB 2801 defines "epinephrine delivery devices" (including auto-injectors and nasal spray) and "medication for respiratory distress" (like albuterol) for use in schools. It requires the state health commissioner to establish an advisory committee that will develop guidelines for schools on storing, maintaining, and training staff to administer these treatments. These guidelines will apply to public and private schools and colleges, ensuring trained personnel are available for emergencies like severe allergic reactions or asthma attacks. School districts already following these guidelines will be exempt from certain administrative requirements under the bill.
