ID H0531

Replaces the term "epinephrine auto-injector" with "epinephrine delivery system" throughout Idaho Code sections 33-520 and 33-520A to accommodate newer FDA-approved epinephrine devices beyond traditional auto-injectors.

School districts must adopt policies permitting students to self-administer epinephrine delivery systems for severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), in addition to existing allowances for asthma inhalers and diabetes medications.

School nurses and designated trained personnel may administer epinephrine to any student or individual on school premises experiencing anaphylaxis, even without a prescription on file for that person.

Civil liability protection extends to healthcare providers prescribing epinephrine for schools and to schools administering epinephrine, provided actions were reasonable and did not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Declared an emergency measure, effective July 1, 2026.
