The bill amends section 17a of the 1973 PA 116, which governs the licensing and regulation of child care organizations in Michigan. It allows minor children to possess and use specific medical devices, such as metered dose inhalers and epinephrine delivery systems, at children's camps and related activities, provided certain conditions are met. These conditions include obtaining written approval from a physician and the child's parent or guardian, as well as having an emergency care plan on file at the camp. The bill also clarifies that camps and their employees are not liable for injuries related to the use or prohibition of these medical devices if the conditions outlined in the bill are not satisfied.

Additionally, the bill replaces the term "auto-injector" with "delivery system" for epinephrine devices and introduces a definition for "epinephrine delivery system" as per the public health code. It also states that camps may request an extra inhaler or epinephrine delivery system for emergencies, although parents are not obligated to provide one. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of several other specified bills in the 103rd Legislature.
