HB 1245 -- School Nurses

Sponsor:  Sater

This bill permits school nurses, upon authorization by the school
board, to keep on hand and administer prefilled syringes of
epinephrine in two dosage strengths.  The nurse may administer
the medication when, based on training, he or she believes a
student is having an acute anaphylactic episode.  The
prescription must be written by a licensed physician listing the
school district as the patient, as well as the nurse's name, and
filled at a licensed pharmacy.
