What This Bill Proposed
This bill organizes and consolidates legal provisions relating to student medication in Utah schools, standardizing training, emergency storage, and liability protections for school employee volunteers administering treatments for anaphylaxis, asthma, diabetes, seizures, and adrenal crises. Effective July 1, 2026, the measure reorganizes existing code sections under Title 26B, protects school employees from retaliation for volunteering, and details student self-administration rights.
Schools and staff gain a unified legal framework for emergency medication administration, affecting liability protections, training protocols for volunteer educators, and procedures for students requiring specialized health treatments.
