Public health, authorized forms of single-dose epinephrine used by public schools and authorized entities expanded

Summary

The law allows schools, authorized entities, and trained staff to keep any FDA‑approved single‑dose pre‑measured epinephrine device, not just traditional autoinjectors, for treating life‑threatening allergic reactions. Students may also carry and self‑administer these devices when proper parental and medical authorizations are on file. The measure also gives participating schools and personnel immunity from civil liability related to the use of the medication.
