This bill would update Kentucky school health laws to add intranasal epinephrine, a nasal spray form of the medication used to treat severe allergic reactions, to the list of approved treatments schools are allowed to keep on hand. Currently, the law covers other forms of epinephrine, and this change would expand those options to include the nasal spray version. Who it may affect: students with severe allergies, school nurses, and school administrators.
