SB 1374 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the administration of epinephrine medication by public and private schools.

SB 1374 requires Texas public and private schools, as well as colleges, to establish clear protocols for handling epinephrine auto-injectors (used for severe allergic reactions) and respiratory medications like albuterol (used for asthma attacks). The bill mandates that schools ensure at least one trained staff member or volunteer is available per campus to administer these medications during emergencies. It defines the specific medications covered and creates an advisory committee to guide school training and storage practices. Schools must adopt written policies covering medication maintenance, administration, and disposal, with training requirements for personnel. This directly affects all Texas schools and college campuses by standardizing emergency response for life-threatening conditions.
