Medication

NY State Senate Bill - S7807 was signed into law by Governor Hochul and is effective immediately. The legislation expands the definition of epinephrine devices to include all types of delivery devices (e.g., nasal sprays) and updates related laws and regulations to be reflective of such. With this amendment, unlicensed school personnel are now permitted to be trained to administer epinephrine via any delivery device, including nasal epinephrine.

Commissioner’s Regulations are in the process of being updated to reflect this change. Once these regulations are updated, NYSED and/or NYSCSH
will update all resources accordingly including the "Allergy and Anaphylaxis Training for School Personnel", found on
our NYSCSH e-Learning and Learning Management System (LMS) page.
