HF 2280: Relating to the self-administration and storage of bronchodilators, bronchodilator canisters, and bronchodilator canisters and spacers relative to schools and students

What it does

This bill relates to the self-administration, storage, and supply of bronchodilators, bronchodilator canisters, and bronchodilator canisters and spacers relative to schools and students. Current law provides for the self-administration by students of asthma or other airway constricting disease medication or epinephrine auto-injectors. The bill adds a bronchodilator specifically to the definition of “medication”, adds respiratory distress as a condition that may be treated by the medication, and adds bronchodilator canisters and bronchodilator canisters and spacers to the list of devices that may be self-administered by students and stored relative to students and schools.
