BILL NUMBER:S5458
TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the education law, in relation to requiring newly certified
teachers to be competent in the use of an epinephrine auto-injector
PURPOSE:
To require all teachers to be trained in the administration of
epinephrine auto-injector devices prior to certification.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1 amends section 3004 of the education law to add a new
section 2-a which requires newly certified teachers to be trained in
the use of an epinephrine auto-injector.
JUSTIFICATION:
Food allergies occur in 6% to 8% of children, and according to the
National Institutes of Health, there are 150 deaths per year due to
food allergies. Epinephrine is vital to the survival of a person
experiencing anaphylaxis (a sudden, potentially fatal reaction to
food or insect stings), however, it must be administered in a timely
manner to be effective.
While every school district has a medical officer, there is no
requirement that a nurse be present in a school building at all
