This bill amends the Revised School Code to enhance the requirements for the administration of epinephrine delivery systems in Michigan schools. It mandates that school boards ensure that schools with 10 or more instructional and administrative staff have at least two trained employees in the appropriate use of epinephrine delivery systems. For schools with fewer than 10 staff, at least one trained employee must be present. The training must be supervised and evaluated by a licensed registered professional nurse. Additionally, the bill requires school boards to develop policies for the possession and administration of epinephrine delivery systems, which must include provisions for notifying parents or guardians when an epinephrine delivery system is administered to a pupil.

The bill also stipulates that school districts must report annually to the department on instances of epinephrine delivery system administration, including the number of pupils treated and those who were previously unknown to have severe allergies. Furthermore, it encourages school boards to seek alternative funding for compliance and allows them to apply for reimbursement from the department if they cannot secure such funding. The bill defines "epinephrine delivery system" as per the public health code and specifies that its enactment is contingent upon the passage of several related bills in the legislature.
