HB 6050 Summary

• Expands epinephrine administration in schools to allow delivery by any authorized method (removes "auto-injector" language), enabling alternative delivery mechanisms beyond auto-injectors.

• Allows school employees trained in epinephrine administration to possess and administer epinephrine to any individual on school grounds believed to be experiencing anaphylaxis, not just pupils with prescriptions on file.

• Requires school boards to maintain at least 2 doses of epinephrine at each school for emergency use by licensed nurses or trained employees, with policies developed in consultation with health organizations.

• Requires schools with 10+ staff to train at least 2 employees in epinephrine administration; schools with fewer than 10 staff must train at least 1 employee, with training supervised by licensed registered nurses.

• Requires school districts to report annually to the state on all epinephrine administrations, including instances and number of pupils treated, and allows reimbursement from the state if districts cannot obtain alternative funding for compliance costs.
