This bill amends Sections 33-520 and 33-520A of the Idaho Code to update the terminology and provisions related to epinephrine delivery systems in schools. The term "auto-injector" is replaced with "delivery system" throughout the text, reflecting a broader understanding of the devices used to administer epinephrine for severe allergic reactions. The amendments clarify the responsibilities of school districts regarding the self-administration of medications, including epinephrine delivery systems, and outline the training requirements for designated school personnel who may administer these systems in emergency situations.

Additionally, the bill establishes guidelines for the stock supply of epinephrine delivery systems in schools, allowing for their prescription and maintenance by licensed medical professionals. It provides legal protections against civil liability for those administering or providing these systems, as long as their actions are reasonable and not grossly negligent. The bill declares an emergency, making it effective immediately upon passage, with a specified full force date of July 1, 2026.
