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).
