The bill H.209 relates to the administration of intranasal epinephrine in schools. It amends current law by specifying that registered nurses who are certified through the Office of Professional Regulation and contracted to perform the duties of a school nurse are authorized to administer this medication. This change aims to ensure that trained professionals are available to respond to allergic emergencies in school settings.

The amendment specifically modifies subdivision (a)(6) of 16 V.S.A. 1388 by inserting the new language regarding the qualifications of school nurses. This addition emphasizes the importance of having certified and contracted personnel in place to handle critical health situations involving students.
