The bill amends the "Law enforcement and firefighter access to epinephrine act" to allow law enforcement officers and firefighters to administer an epinephrine delivery system in specific situations. It replaces the term "auto-injectable" with "an epinephrine delivery system" throughout the text, broadening the definition to include various forms of epinephrine, such as auto-injectors, inhalers, and nasal sprays. The bill also clarifies the definition of eligible entities, which include law enforcement agencies and organized fire departments, and establishes that these entities can purchase, possess, and distribute the epinephrine delivery systems to trained personnel.

Additionally, the bill provides civil and criminal immunity to eligible entities and individuals who administer or fail to administer the epinephrine delivery system, as long as their actions do not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct. This immunity extends to injuries, death, or damages resulting from the administration of the epinephrine delivery system. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of several other specified bills in the 103rd Legislature.
