SB 146 Utah Senate · 2025 General Session

Glucagon Amendments

SB 146 allows Utah public and private schools to stock glucagon kits for treating severe low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) emergencies. It permits qualified adults (like teachers or coaches who complete training) to administer the kits to students experiencing such emergencies, establishes a standing prescription for schools to obtain kits, and provides liability protection for those administering or prescribing them. The bill also requires training for school staff on proper kit storage and use. This directly affects schools, students with diabetes, and school staff in Utah.
