Encouraging States to Allow Trained Individuals to Administer Epinephrine.

This bill encourages states to adopt laws allowing trained non-medical individuals to carry and administer epinephrine (like EpiPens) during severe allergic emergencies. States that implement these permissions and provide civil liability protection (Good Samaritan laws) for those administering aid will receive preferential treatment for federal preventive health grants. This aims to increase public safety and rapid response capabilities during life-threatening allergic reactions.
Key points
States must permit all trained individuals to carry and administer epinephrine during anaphylactic reactions to qualify for preferential federal grants.
The State must certify that adequate civil liability protection (Good Samaritan law) is in place for those administering the emergency aid.
