Requires all children's overnight camps, summer day camps, and traveling summer day camps to maintain epinephrine devices on premises and establish collaborative agreements with emergency health care providers (physicians or hospitals providing emergency care)

Mandates that collaborative agreements include written practice protocols and policies, which must be filed with the health department and appropriate regional council before any epinephrine device can be used

Restricts epinephrine device use to individuals who complete a commissioner-approved training course, with exceptions for licensed health care practitioners and those with lawful prescriptions

Removes children's camps from the list of "eligible persons or entities" that can voluntarily obtain epinephrine devices under existing law, replacing it with this new mandatory requirement

Takes effect 180 days after becoming law, with immediate authorization for the department to create implementing rules and regulations
