The Stock Epinephrine Law - 5 Years Later and Counting

The School Access to Emergency Epinephrine Act was signed into law by President Obama on November 13, 2013 with bipartisan support (Public Law 113-48). The law amended the Public Health Service Act to increase the preference given to certain asthma-related grants in states that allow trained school personnel to administer epinephrine and maintain a stock epinephrine supply to treat suspected anaphylaxis. To qualify, states are also required to provide civil liability protection to trained staff acting in good faith at the elementary and secondary levels.
