AZ HB2086

School districts and charter schools may adopt policies and procedures allowing students with diabetes to manage their condition in classrooms, on school grounds, and at school-sponsored activities, with authorization from their primary health professional.

A diabetes medical management plan must be submitted annually by parents/guardians and signed by a licensed health professional, nurse practitioner, or pharmacist practicing under section 32-1970, stating the student is capable of self-monitoring and listing authorized medications and equipment.

School districts and charter schools may designate two or more employees as voluntary diabetes care assistants to administer insulin, assist with insulin self-administration, or administer glucagon in emergency situations when a school nurse or health professional is not immediately available.

Voluntary diabetes care assistants must receive training from a licensed health professional on diabetes types, symptoms of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, insulin dosing techniques, and glucagon administration.

School districts, charter schools, their employees, and volunteer health professionals are immune from civil liability for good faith adoption and implementation of diabetes management policies and procedures.
