An act relating to the use and maintenance of epinephrine at child care facilities

This bill allows Vermont child care facilities to maintain a stock supply of epinephrine (a treatment for severe allergic reactions) and train staff to administer it in emergencies. It directly affects child care providers, children with allergies, and other individuals at facilities who may experience life-threatening reactions. Key provisions require facilities to follow protocols for recognizing reactions, administering epinephrine, and documenting incidents, while protecting trained staff and providers from liability unless intentional misconduct occurs. The bill also mandates new rules for allergy management plans and staff training, developed by the Division of Human Services and Health Department.
