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 trained first responders to use these delivery systems when responding to anaphylaxis, while extending immunity from professional liability and criminal prosecution to them when acting in good faith during emergencies. Additionally, the bill clarifies that there is no established duty to act or standard of care required for first responders in these situations.

Moreover, the bill introduces a new definition for "epinephrine delivery system" as a single-use device approved by the FDA for treating life-threatening allergic reactions. It allows school districts and charter schools to stock these systems and outlines the procedures for their administration during emergencies. The bill emphasizes immunity from civil liability for individuals and entities involved in administering these systems, provided they act in good faith, and includes technical changes to ensure clarity in training and responsibilities related to the use of epinephrine delivery systems.
