HB 1732 -- SELF-ADMINISTERED MEDICATIONS BY STUDENTS (Fraser)

COMMITTEE OF ORIGIN:  Health Care Policy

Currently, the self-administration of an asthma medication
inhaler by students is permissible under certain conditions.
This bill revises the law by broadening permissible
self-administered medications to include auto-injectible
epinephrine for anaphylactic shock.  The bill specifies the
necessary conditions for self-administration including a written
treatment plan, proof that a student has demonstrated the skill
required, and a signed liability release for the school.

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