Bumping for final push!

The Governor's office announced today via press release that he signed both SB 1912 & AB 2132!!!

As a result, California will now have uniform policy statewide that, subject to the provisions of the bill, students will be able to carry their asthma meds and Epi-pens at school!

Thanks to all Californians who took the time to advocate for this life-saving legislation.

By the way, SB 1912, which permits pupils to carry and self-administer auto-injectable epinephrine is effective immediately.

AB 2132, which will permit pupils to carry and self-administer inhaled asthma medication, will be effective 1/1/05.

Each bill spells out the details, but essentially, school must recieve a written statement from doctor and written statement from parent granting permission (these statements need to be renewed annually).

Hmm...

Nomar wants to go play for the L.A. Dodgers... And he's getting a full share of winnings WHEN the Red-Sox win the pennant.
