WV SB1078

Schools in West Virginia may stock any FDA-approved formulation of epinephrine for emergency anaphylaxis treatment, not just auto-injectors, expanding options beyond EpiPen-style devices

School nurses and trained designated employees may administer epinephrine to students, staff, or visitors believed to be experiencing anaphylaxis, even without a prior diagnosis or prescription on file

Licensed healthcare providers, including allopathic and osteopathic physicians, may issue prescriptions or standing orders to county boards or individual schools authorizing acquisition and administration of epinephrine

Personnel who administer epinephrine in good faith and consistent with training receive immunity from civil liability, criminal liability, and professional disciplinary action

County boards must collect data on anaphylaxis incidents requiring epinephrine administration and report annually to the state superintendent, who presents findings to the Joint Committee on Government and Finance by December 31 each year
