Relating to a statewide standing order prescribing epinephrine auto-injectors to public and private schools.

SB 611 establishes a statewide standing order allowing Texas public and private schools to keep epinephrine auto-injectors available for any student experiencing a severe allergic reaction. It directly affects all Texas public school districts, open-enrollment charter schools, and private schools by eliminating the need for individual prescriptions for each student. The key provision permits school staff to administer epinephrine without requiring a prior physician-patient relationship or a specific student prescription. This policy change ensures schools can respond immediately to life-threatening allergic emergencies during school hours.
