What’s in it
This bill relates to epinephrine delivery systems in schools, food establishments, carnivals, recreational camps, youth sports facilities, and sports arenas. Current law permits food establishments, carnivals, recreational camps, youth sports facilities, and sports arenas to obtain and maintain a supply of epinephrine auto-injectors for emergency use. Current law also requires the board of directors of a school district and the authorities in charge of an accredited nonpublic school to permit the self-administration of medication or the use of an epinephrine auto-injector by a student with a risk of anaphylaxis if certain conditions are met.
Read the full explanation
Current law further authorizes the board of directors in charge of each school district and the authorities in charge of each accredited nonpublic school to obtain a prescription for epinephrine auto-injectors and to maintain a supply of such devices in a secure location at each school. The bill replaces the defined term “epinephrine auto-injector” with “epinephrine delivery system”, which includes both epinephrine auto-injectors and epinephrine nasal sprays. As a result, under the bill, epinephrine nasal sprays would be permitted and available in the same manner as epinephrine auto-injectors.
