What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
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.
