The bill H.209 relates to the administration of intranasal epinephrine in schools. It amends current law by specifying that individuals who are authorized to administer this medication include registered nurses certified through the Office of Professional Regulation and contracted to perform the duties of a school nurse. This addition aims to clarify the qualifications of personnel responsible for administering intranasal epinephrine in educational settings. The amendment enhances the existing framework for emergency medical responses in schools, ensuring that trained professionals are available to manage severe allergic reactions effectively. By including certified school nurses in the legislation, the bill seeks to improve the safety and health protocols within schools, thereby providing better care for students who may require immediate medical attention due to anaphylaxis.
