The bill amends section 1002.20 of the Florida Statutes to enhance diabetes management in schools by allowing school districts and public schools to acquire and maintain a supply of undesignated glucagon for emergency use in treating students experiencing hypoglycemic episodes. It defines key terms such as "authorized health care practitioner," "participating school," and "undesignated glucagon." The legislation mandates that glucagon be stored securely yet be immediately accessible to trained personnel, and it allows schools to obtain glucagon through various means, including donations, grants, or arrangements with suppliers.

Additionally, the bill requires participating schools to make glucagon available as per a student's diabetes management plan and outlines the responsibilities of school personnel in administering glucagon, including the need for emergency assistance and parental notification post-administration. It also provides immunity from civil and criminal liability for school personnel and health care practitioners who administer or prescribe glucagon in good faith. The State Board of Education is tasked with adopting rules to implement these provisions, which will take effect on July 1, 2025.
