The bill SB1649 amends sections 15-344.01, 32-1401, 32-1854, and 32-1901.01 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, focusing on school safety requirements, particularly concerning the administration of glucagon in emergency situations for individuals with symptoms of hypoglycemia. The bill authorizes certain health professionals and trained school employees to administer glucagon under a standing order. It also requires the State Board of Education to establish policies and procedures for schools that choose to administer glucagon.

Key changes include allowing school districts or charter schools to request a standing order for glucagon, which can be administered by designated individuals, including trained school employees, in emergency situations. The bill provides civil immunity for good faith implementation of glucagon administration requirements and allows schools to accept monetary donations or glucagon donations for emergency use. It also exempts certain professionals from being charged with unprofessional conduct for prescribing or dispensing glucagon without a prior examination or established doctor-patient relationship if it is for school emergency use. The bill becomes effective on the general effective date.
