The proposed bill would update current statutes by replacing all references to "epinephrine auto-injector" with "epinephrine delivery system," thereby modernizing the terminology to reflect advancements in medical technology. It would also allow first responders trained in administering epinephrine injections to utilize these newly defined delivery systems during anaphylaxis emergencies. Additionally, the bill extends immunity from professional liability and criminal prosecution to first responders acting in good faith, while clarifying that there is no established duty to act or standard of care required in these situations.

Moreover, the bill introduces a new definition for "epinephrine delivery system" and allows school districts and charter schools to stock multiple doses of these systems, supported by monetary donations or grants. It emphasizes immunity from civil liability for individuals and entities administering these systems in good faith and mandates annual training for school personnel on recognizing anaphylactic shock and using the delivery systems. The bill also permits self-administration of these systems by students diagnosed with anaphylaxis, enhancing the accessibility and clarity of emergency medication protocols in schools and authorized entities.
