OK HB2101

School districts electing to stock Epinephrine injectors must amend their existing asthma/anaphylaxis medication policy to allow school nurses or trained employees to administer Epinephrine to students experiencing anaphylactic reactions, with parental permission but without a health care provider order

Parents must sign a waiver of liability before school personnel can administer Epinephrine to their child, and the school district and its employees are protected from liability for administering or not administering the medication

Licensed physicians may write prescriptions for Epinephrine injectors directly to school districts, and schools may maintain a minimum of two injectors at each site in a secure location

School employees must contact 911 as soon as possible when a student is believed to be having an anaphylactic reaction

The State Board of Education, in consultation with the State Board of Health, must develop a model policy and promulgate rules to implement the law, effective November 1, 2013
