The proposed bill would update current statutes by replacing all instances of "epinephrine auto-injector" with "epinephrine delivery system," thereby modernizing the terminology to include a wider range of devices for administering epinephrine. This change is intended to reflect advancements in medical technology and practices. The bill would also insert a definition for "epinephrine delivery system" as a single-use device containing a premeasured dose of epinephrine approved by the FDA. Additionally, it would clarify that school districts and charter schools are permitted to stock these delivery systems and outline the responsibilities of trained personnel in emergency situations.

Moreover, the bill would enhance the legal protections for first responders by providing them immunity from professional liability and criminal prosecution when administering an epinephrine delivery system, aligning their protections with those of other trained individuals. It maintains the requirement for annual training for school personnel on recognizing anaphylactic shock and administering these systems, while ensuring that those involved in their administration are protected from civil liability, except in cases of gross negligence or intentional wrongdoing. Overall, the bill aims to improve emergency response protocols for anaphylaxis in educational settings.
