This bill allows school bus drivers to administer epinephrine to students experiencing anaphylaxis in emergency situations, provided certain conditions are met. These conditions include obtaining written authorization from the student's parent or guardian, securing written orders from a physician or advanced practice nurse confirming the need for epinephrine, and ensuring that the school board or nonpublic school informs parents that they and the school bus driver will not be held liable for any injuries resulting from the administration of the epinephrine. Additionally, parents must sign a statement acknowledging this liability waiver and agree to indemnify the school and its employees against any claims. The school bus driver must also volunteer for this role and receive proper training in administering epinephrine via a pre-filled auto-injector mechanism.

The bill emphasizes that the written permission from parents is valid for the entire school year and can be renewed annually. It also clarifies that nothing in this legislation prevents a student who is authorized to self-administer epinephrine from doing so. Furthermore, it states that no school bus driver, school district, nonpublic school, or contractor will be liable for actions taken in good faith under this act, excluding cases of willful misconduct, gross negligence, or recklessness. The State Board of Education is tasked with creating regulations to implement the provisions of this act, which will take effect immediately and apply to the first full school year following its enactment.
