Provides that within 24 hours of the administration of an undesignated epinephrine auto-injector, a school district, public school, or nonpublic school must notify the physician, physician assistant, or advance practice nurse who provided the standing order or prescription for the undesignated epinephrine auto-injector of its use. Further provides that trained personnel must also submit to his or her school's administration proof of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated external defibrillator certification.
