SF 19 Wyoming House · 2026 Regular Session

Epinephrine delivery methods.

Wyoming's SF 19 allows schools to stock and administer epinephrine using auto-injectors, nasal sprays, or other FDA-approved devices for severe allergic reactions without requiring a student-specific prescription. It directly affects schools, school nurses, and trained staff by enabling them to provide emergency treatment to students experiencing anaphylaxis. The bill requires schools to develop allergy management guidelines, track incidents, and maintain records of trained personnel, while also providing liability protection for good-faith administration (excluding gross negligence). It updates definitions to include all approved epinephrine delivery methods and specifies that administering stock epinephrine does not constitute the practice of medicine.

MODERATE

The bill was finalized and enrolled for signature, retaining its core purpose of allowing schools to stock and administer epinephrine without prescriptions. The text includes minor formatting corrections and clarifies that the immunity from liability for administering epinephrine extends to failures to act, not just the act of administering.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on public schools and authorized personnel, with no changes to the entities or individuals covered.

DEFINITION

The definition of 'epinephrine auto-injector' was expanded to explicitly include nasal sprays and any other FDA-approved device or method for emergency delivery, broadening the tools schools can use.

REQUIREMENT

The deadline for the Department of Education to develop management guidelines was updated from December 31, 2014, to a later date (implied by the context of a 2026 session, though the specific new year is not explicitly stated in the diff text provided).

A new requirement was added for pharmacists to provide written education to patients on how to use epinephrine auto-injectors and respond to anaphylaxis or overdose events.

ENFORCEMENT

The liability protection for schools and staff was clarified to include immunity for 'failure to administer' epinephrine in addition to the act of administering, provided the failure does not constitute gross negligence.

TECHNICAL

Several instances of text formatting errors, such as stray words like 'pens' and broken lines, were corrected to improve readability.
