Pharmacists are authorized to prescribe epinephrine auto-injectors, adding this to the definition of "practice of pharmacy" in Idaho Code.

Health care practitioners may prescribe epinephrine auto-injectors to authorized entities (schools, camps, restaurants, sports venues, etc.) for emergency use without requiring individual patient prescriptions.

Employees or agents of authorized entities who complete biennial anaphylaxis training may provide or administer epinephrine auto-injectors to any individual believed to be experiencing anaphylaxis, regardless of prior diagnosis or prescription.

Nurses, pharmacists, and other health care practitioners are exempt from the training requirement and may administer epinephrine auto-injectors under their professional authority.

Authorized entities, prescribers, dispensers, and training providers are granted immunity from liability for injuries resulting from epinephrine auto-injector provision or administration, except in cases of gross negligence.
