What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill exempts a school bus operator, a public, private, or tribal school, Cooperative Educational Service Agency, or County Children with Disabilities Education Board employee, or a volunteer authorized in writing by a school, CESA, or CCDEB administrator or principal from civil liability for his or her acts or omissions in administering an opioid antagonist to a pupil or other person who appears to be undergoing an opioid-related drug overdose. The person who administers the opioid antagonist must, as soon as practicable, report the drug overdose by calling “911” or, if “911” is not available, the telephone number for an emergency medical service provider.

Under current law, any of the persons authorized above may, similarly, use an epinephrine auto-injector to administer epinephrine to any pupil who appears to be experiencing a severe allergic reaction and administer glucagon to any pupil who the person knows is diabetic and who appears to be experiencing a severe low blood sugar event with altered consciousness, provided the person reports the allergic reaction or low blood sugar event.
