HB462
Regards student use of a nasal epinephrine delivery device
Summary
This bill allows students in Ohio schools to possess and use nasal epinephrine delivery devices to treat anaphylaxis, provided they have written approval from a prescriber and a parent or guardian. It outlines the necessary conditions for possession and use, including training requirements and emergency procedures. The bill also limits liability for school employees regarding the use of these devices under specified conditions.
Rationale
The bill supports individual rights by allowing students to manage their health needs, aligning with the Libertarian principle of self-ownership. However, it introduces regulatory requirements that may conflict with the Libertarian emphasis on minimal government intervention in personal choices, resulting in a mixed alignment with both platforms.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government regulation on personal health decisions
- Potential for misuse of regulatory authority by schools
- Liability protections may not adequately address all scenarios
