Amends the Asthma Inhalers at Recreational Camps Act. Changes the name of the Act to the Emergency Asthma Inhalers and Allergy Treatment for Children Act. Defines "after-school care program". Requires an after-school care program to permit a child with severe, potentially life-threatening allergies to possess, self-administer, and use an epinephrine auto-injector or inhaler, if the certain conditions are satisfied. Allows after-school care program personnel: who have completed an anaphylaxis training program to administer an undesignated epinephrine injection to any child if the after-school care program personnel believe in good faith that the child is having an anaphylactic reaction while in the after-school care program; to carry undesignated epinephrine injectors on their person while in the after-school care program; to administer undesignated asthma medication to any child if the after-school care program personnel believe in good faith that the child is experiencing respiratory distress while in the after-school care program; and to carry undesignated asthma medication on their person while in the after-school care program. Provides that if after-school care program personnel administer an undesignated epinephrine injection to a person and the after-school care program personnel believe in good faith the person is having an anaphylactic reaction or administer undesignated asthma medication to a person and believe in good faith the person is experiencing respiratory distress, then the after-school care program and its employees and agents shall not incur any liability or be subject to professional discipline, except for willful and wanton conduct, as a result of any injury arising from the use of the injection or medication, notwithstanding whether notice was given to or authorization was given by the child's parent or guardian or by the child's physician, physician assistant, or advanced practice registered nurse and notwithstanding the absence of the parent's or guardian's signed statement acknowledging release from liability. Makes other and conforming changes. Effective immediately.
