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.
