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 included in the provisions regarding the administration of this medication. This change aims to ensure that qualified personnel are available to manage allergic reactions in school settings.

The amendment is made to subdivision (a)(6) of 16 V.S.A. § 1388, where the new language clarifies the qualifications of school nurses authorized to administer intranasal epinephrine. This addition emphasizes the importance of having trained and certified professionals in schools to enhance student safety and health management.
