Defines auto-injectable epinephrine as a disposable drug delivery device containing a premeasured single dose of epinephrine used to treat life-threatening allergic reactions.

Requires parents or legal guardians to provide written authorization, acknowledgement of no school liability, and written medical authorization from a physician before a student may self-administer any approved medication.
