Clarifying requirements of possession and administration of epinephrine in schools

Summary

The bill lets any public, private, parochial or denominational school keep FDA‑approved epinephrine auto‑injectors on site without needing a prior diagnosis for a student. Nurses, designated and trained non‑medical staff, and trained transportation employees may give the medication when they reasonably believe someone is having an anaphylactic reaction, and they are protected from civil liability unless grossly negligent. It also requires counties to collect usage data and report it annually to the state superintendent.
