COMMITTEE ACTION:  Health Care Policy

This bill allows school nurses, upon authorization by the school

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, include the nurse's name, and be
filled at a licensed pharmacy.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2007, FY 2008, and
FY 2009.
