House Bill 760 amends various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated to establish protocols for the use of bronchodilator rescue inhalers in emergency situations, particularly in authorized entities and schools. The bill defines key terms such as "asthma," "authorized entity," "bronchodilator rescue inhaler," and "healthcare practitioner." It allows healthcare practitioners to prescribe these inhalers to authorized entities, which include child care agencies, restaurants, and schools, among others. Designated employees of these entities are permitted to administer the inhalers in emergencies when a physician is not available, provided they follow a standing protocol from the prescribing healthcare practitioner. The bill also includes liability protections for designated employees and healthcare practitioners in cases of injury or harm resulting from the administration of the inhaler.

Additionally, the bill encourages local education agencies (LEAs) and public charter schools to maintain bronchodilator rescue inhalers in multiple accessible locations within the school. It allows trained school personnel to administer the inhalers under a standing protocol and stipulates that they will not be liable for civil damages resulting from their actions in good faith. The state board of education is tasked with developing clinical protocols for administering these inhalers in consultation with the department of health. This legislation aims to enhance the safety and preparedness of schools and authorized entities in responding to asthma-related emergencies.
