Committee gives favorable report to bill allowing single-dose nasal epinephrine in schools
Summary
A lawmaker told the committee HB 533 would let public schools use single-dose nasal epinephrine and compared it to existing Narcan programs; the committee passed the bill by voice vote and reported it favorably.
A legislative committee gave HB 533 a favorable report after a presenter described it as a measure to allow the single-dose nasal form of epinephrine for use in public schools.
A lawmaker who described the bill said it "will allow the single dose epinephrine used by public schools, the nasal form of this drug." The presenter added that schools already have experience with emergency medicines, noting, "We already have Narcan in school, so they're familiar with that." The speaker said the bill "fell in Margie's lap" and endorsed it.
A motion for a favorable report was made, seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript records the favorable report but does not provide roll-call vote counts or the names of individual yea/nay voters.
No further amendments or committee directions were recorded in the transcript.
