The bill amends various sections of the Revised Code to expand the availability and use of epinephrine delivery systems in Ohio schools, school districts, and camps. It introduces the term "epinephrine delivery system," which includes autoinjectors, intranasal sprays, and other devices approved by the state board of pharmacy. Students are permitted to possess and use these systems for treating anaphylaxis with written approval from a prescriber and a parent or guardian. The bill also outlines the responsibilities of school districts in maintaining a supply of these systems, developing usage policies, and provides liability protections for school employees and districts acting in good faith during the administration of epinephrine.

Additionally, the bill allows various educational institutions, including chartered and nonchartered nonpublic schools, to procure epinephrine delivery systems under the same provisions as school districts, while granting them immunity from civil liability related to their use. It clarifies the roles of healthcare professionals, allowing certain nurse practitioners to prescribe these systems without prior examination. The bill also facilitates the donation of medical products to schools and camps, ensuring access to necessary supplies for emergency situations. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance safety and preparedness in managing allergic reactions among students and individuals in educational and recreational settings.
