The bill would gather several school medication rules, including those for epinephrine, naloxone, glucagon, and albuterol, into one section of state code. It would apply the same education and data tracking expectations to each of these medications, while keeping epinephrine as the only one schools must provide and the others optional.

Uh, the, this, uh, I, uh, ed her This what? Oh, what she I think they were thinking the next one in line would be quicker. Um, uh, it it it's up to you though, Mr. Chair. Is this who you have? Yes, This is Dr. Ferguson. I'm good on time. So this is SB 1 0 4. No, 1 0 4 is just me. Okay. No. What, what, bill, do you want to be the last One? Well, I also wanna be respectful of the committee's time. So do you want me to go in order or do you want me to go with who? We have a speaker here. No. Does it matter to you? No, it doesn't matter. We just, Okay, that's Fine. Let's do 1 0 4. It's quick. Let's go 1 0 4 super quick.
- Sen. Jen Plumb3:28:59
Okay, go ahead. Senate bill 1 0 4 is a bill that came together as, I suppose you'd call it a cleanup, a an organized, a clarifying bill. I, I've worked on a couple bills the last couple of sessions on school medications. Um, and there were other bills that had run before me and adjacent to those as well, we realized there were just some gaps, that there were some education expectations, some data tracking expectations, um, and we just wanted to make it the same for all of those school medications. So this bill essentially puts them all in one place and cleans up the code that they're all in one place. It, it is adds clarity so that the schools know exactly where to look. Uh, when they wanna look at data and code, or sorry, when they look at codes around meds, they can all go to the same place. They can expect to have the same expectations for every med. There is one difference, uh, that I think is worth put pointing out and I think is something we can discuss. And that is that there is only one medication that is a shall and that is epinephrine. The rest are all maze. And that is the way the bill has, that's the way the law has been. Uh, and so that was maintained. There are some interesting conversations to be had around that, but not addressing that now, just putting them all in. And I do think, uh, it's important to point that out. Uh, other than that, this bill is, uh, from everyone that I've talked to, they support it. We all like transparency and clarity and ease of use of code. So that's what this bill does.

individual medications in schools and figuring out the best way to make sure that folks were trained and that data was tracked and it came, became pretty clear that we needed to clean up the code a little bit. There were enough variations that made it so that there just wasn't consistency. This bill essentially takes those medications like epinephrine, naloxone, glucagon, uh, albuterol, and puts them all into one code, which I think increases, uh, efficiency as well as transparency of note. It is interesting, um, that there is only one of the medications that is a shall, that is epinephrine. The rest of them are all May. I did leave that intact. With that, I'm open to any questions.

where I've seen medications in schools policy over the last couple of years. And it felt important to bring them together and to have there be uniformity to help with both efficiency as well as transparency in our settings where schools are being, uh, asked to administer medications to students in those critical moments. Uh, it really is a bit of a cleanup bill just to put it all together and get that efficiency placed. With that, I'm open to any questions. Thank you
