HB 1245 -- SCHOOL NURSES

This bill allows each school board to authorize a school nurse 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, include the nurse's name, and be filled at a licensed
pharmacy.
