What it would have done

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

This bill amends current law authority related to the possession, administration, and dispensing of epinephrine auto-injectors and prefilled syringes of epinephrine to instead include all epinephrine delivery systems. Under the bill, “epinephrine delivery system” is defined to mean a device that is approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration, that contains a dose of epinephrine, and that is used to administer epinephrine into the human body to prevent or treat a life-threatening allergic reaction.

Current law allows designated school personnel, school nurses, and other authorized entities and individuals who have completed a training program to provide or administer epinephrine auto-injectors and prefilled syringes to pupils and other individuals. “Authorized entities” are those entities or organizations that operate or participate in a business, activity, or event where anaphylaxis-causing allergens may be present. Authorized entities include restaurants, camps, institutions of higher education, places of employment, amusement parks, and sports leagues and arenas. The bill allows the same individuals and entities to provide or administer any epinephrine delivery system.

Read the full summary

Under current law, pupils are also allowed to possess and use an epinephrine auto-injector or a prefilled syringe in certain circumstances while in school, participating in a school-sponsored activity, or under supervision by a school. Under the bill, pupils are allowed to possess and use any epinephrine delivery system under those same circumstances.

In addition, current law allows prescribers to prescribe epinephrine auto-injectors and prefilled syringes in the name of the school or the name of the authorized entity or individual. The bill provides prescribing authority for any epinephrine delivery system.

Finally, current law allows any prescriber to issue a standing order or a statewide standing order for the dispensing of epinephrine auto-injectors or prefilled syringes for use by trained individuals. The bill allows prescribers to issue a standing order or statewide standing orders for any epinephrine delivery system for use by trained individuals.
