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, along with the school bus driver and contractor, 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.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that the school bus driver must volunteer for this responsibility and receive proper training in administering epinephrine via a pre-filled auto-injector mechanism, following standardized protocols established by current law. The training must be conducted by a qualified individual or entity approved by the Department of Health. The written permission from the parent or guardian is valid for the entire school year and can be renewed annually, with the parent responsible for providing a current, unexpired auto-injector for use during the school year.
