Bill to allow use of 'any available epinephrine' draws nurse-practice concerns Substitute Senate Bill 5,240 would let a school nurse or designated trained staff administer 'any available epinephrine' on school property when a student has a prescription on file and require reimbursement for owner‑supplied medication.

A new bill could allow school staff to use "any available epinephrine" on students in emergencies, but nurses are raising serious concerns about legal and ethical risks.

Maine's committee has unanimously advanced a vital bill to enhance school health measures, but concerns about potential risks to medical judgment linger.
