HI SB531

Schools may maintain a stock supply of bronchodilators (asthma medication) to be administered by trained school health assistants or authorized volunteers to any student experiencing an actual or perceived asthma episode

Department of Education must collaborate with Department of Health to develop protocols for bronchodilator storage, usage, employee training, administration parameters, and emergency follow-up procedures

Trained school employees and agents may volunteer to administer emergency medications including epinephrine, glucagon, seizure rescue medication, inhalers, stock bronchodilators, and insulin to students with written parental authorization and medical orders

Schools can accept donated or purchased bronchodilators that are new, unexpired, manufacturer-sealed, and FDA-compliant, with prescriptions designating the school as the patient

Schools and individuals who comply with these requirements receive immunity from civil and criminal liability, except for gross negligence or intentional misconduct, and parents must sign statements acknowledging this liability protection
