An Act relative to increasing access to epinephrine

Summary

The bill creates a statewide standing order so any licensed pharmacist can provide epinephrine delivery systems (auto‑injectors) to anyone who needs them, with liability protection for pharmacists and prescribers. It also shields first responders and individuals seeking emergency help from controlled‑substance charges when using epinephrine, and lets schools, restaurants, and similar places keep a supply of the medication with trained staff. The goal is to increase rapid access to life‑saving treatment for severe allergic reactions.
