AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 16 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE APPLICATION OF NASAL EPINEPHRINE.

Summary

The bill amends the state health code so that public and private institutions of higher education may obtain epinephrine autoinjectors and intranasal sprays under a prescription in the school's name and keep them in an accessible location. Trained campus staff can then give or administer the medication to anyone showing signs of anaphylaxis, regardless of whether the person has a prescription. The Department of Health is tasked with promoting safe use and issuing implementing regulations.
