Existing law does not provide for the prescribing of epinephrine auto-injectors to entities such as summer camps, day care centers, restaurants, places of employment, and other entities for administration to an individual experiencing a severe allergic reaction capable of causing anaphylaxis.
This bill would create a program for the prescribing of single dose epinephrine auto-injectors to authorized entities for administration to an individual experiencing a severe allergic reaction.
This bill would provide immunity from actions resulting from the dispensing of or administration of epinephrine auto-injectors in certain circumstances.
This bill would also authorize the State Board of Health to promulgate rules.
