Bill Caption

Relating to immunity from liability for public and open-enrollment charter school campuses that maintain a supply of anaphylaxis medicine for emergency use.

Bill Analysis

SB 28 would add a provision that requires school districts and open enrollment charter schools to maintain a supply of anaphylaxis medicine for emergency use.

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.
