The bill, known as the "Emerson Kate Cole Act," amends existing school medication policies in Oklahoma to enhance the management of students with asthma and anaphylaxis. Key changes include the elimination of references to epinephrine injectors and a specific training program, while introducing new requirements for school districts. Schools must now call 911 if epinephrine is administered to a student and must notify parents if a student experiences a possible allergic reaction. Additionally, the bill mandates that school districts adopt model policies developed by the State Board of Education and the State Board of Health, which will include annual training for teachers and school employees on food allergies and anaphylaxis.

The amended policy also stipulates that schools must maintain a minimum of two epinephrine devices and inhalers with spacers or holding chambers, although it does not impose a duty on schools to do so. The bill emphasizes the importance of parental authorization for self-administration of medication and requires documentation of training for school staff. Overall, the Emerson Kate Cole Act aims to improve the safety and response protocols for students with severe allergies and asthma in Oklahoma schools.
