Bill Caption
Relating to policies and training regarding the use of epinephrine auto-injectors by school districts and open-enrollment charter schools; providing immunity.
Fiscal Notes
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Bill Analysis
This bill would establish a process by which a school district or open-enrollment charter school may maintain and utilize a supply of
epinephrine auto injectors.
Vote Recommendation Notes
This bill would affirm the principle of personal responsibility,
therefore we support this legislation. If children are required to
attend school, it is important that if a life-threatening medical
situation occurred then the school would have the means to assist in
that. Since parents can't personally be there to care for their child,
they should be able to know that the school will be able to adequately
take responsibility for the well-being of that child.
