Staff Analysis of the Legislation
|
Current law requires school districts to stock epinephrine if sufficient funds are appropriated by the Legislature to provide it for every school. Otherwise it is optional. Eliminates the requirement for the Department of Education (ADE) to include funding for epinephrine auto-injectors in its budget request each year. Removes the requirement that schools stock two or more doses of juvenile and adult epinephrine auto-injectors if the state appropriates sufficient funds. Districts retain immunity from liability if they choose to stock epinephrine and provide the required training.
