Multiple states have passed legislation that permits, but does not require, various public venues, referred to as entities, to stock undesignated epinephrine for use in case of an emergency.
The definition of entities varies from state to state, but for illustrative purposes, may include day camps, youth recreation programs, theme parks, daycare centers, restaurants, sports arenas, and college campuses.
A small number of states have passed laws specific to colleges and universities that allow, but do not require, post-secondary education institutions to stock undesignated epinephrine. For more information about epinephrine on college campuses, please click here.
These laws may provide exemption from civil liability and outline specific requirements for training personnel, as well as how to obtain, maintain, store and administer the epinephrine.
The list below includes links to current statute that allows entities to stock undesignated stock epinephrine.
