What it does

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

This bill allows the governing body of a public, private, or tribal school to adopt a plan for the management of pupils who have asthma. The plan must be approved by a physician, an advanced practice nurse prescriber, or a physician assistant.

Under the bill, physicians, advanced practice nurse prescribers, and physician assistants may provide prescriptions and standing orders for short-acting bronchodilators or components to schools that adopt a plan. The governing body of a school that adopts a plan and has a valid prescription or standing order may accept donated short-acting bronchodilators or components if they are unopened and unexpired and meet certain other requirements.

Read the full summary

The governing body of a school that adopts a plan may authorize a school nurse, or designated school personnel who have received training specified in the school's plan, to do any of the following on school premises or at a school-sponsored activity:

1. Provide a short-acting bronchodilator to a pupil to self-administer in accordance with a prescription specific to the pupil that is on file.

2. Administer a short-acting bronchodilator to a pupil in accordance with a prescription specific to the pupil that is on file.

3. Administer a short-acting bronchodilator to a pupil or other person who the school nurse or designated personnel believes is experiencing respiratory distress, regardless of whether the pupil or other person has a prescription for a short-acting bronchodilator.

The bill grants immunity from civil liability for injuries resulting from the administration or self-administration of a short-acting bronchodilator 1) to a school and designated school personnel; 2) to a physician, an advanced practice nurse prescriber, or a physician assistant who provides a prescription or standing order to a school for a short-acting bronchodilator; and 3) to a physician, an advanced practice nurse prescriber, a physician assistant, or a pharmacist who dispenses a short-acting bronchodilator to a school.
