The proposed bill would update current statutes by replacing all instances of "epinephrine auto-injector" with "epinephrine delivery system" to reflect a broader range of devices used for administering epinephrine in anaphylactic emergencies. This change is intended to modernize the legal language and ensure it aligns with current medical practices. Additionally, the bill would allow trained first responders to use these delivery systems in emergency situations, extending their scope of practice, and would provide them with immunity from professional liability and criminal prosecution when administering these systems.

Moreover, the bill introduces a definition for "epinephrine delivery system" as a single-use device containing a premeasured dose of epinephrine approved by the FDA. It clarifies that school districts and charter schools are permitted to stock these systems and outlines the procedures for their use during emergencies. The legislation also emphasizes immunity from civil liability for individuals and entities involved in the administration of these systems, provided they act in good faith, while establishing clear training requirements and responsibilities for authorized entities in managing and reporting the use of these systems.
