Adds provisions authorizing possession, self-administration, and use of epinephrine injections and asthma medications at after-school care programs. Provides that after-school care program personnel may carry and administer an undesignated epinephrine injection to any child if the after-school care program personnel in good faith believe the child is having an anaphylactic reaction and may carry and administer an undesignated asthma medication to any child if the after-school care program personnel in good faith believe the child is experiencing respiratory distress while in the after-school care program. Provides that if after-school care program personnel are to administer an undesignated epinephrine injection or an undesignated asthma medication to a child, the after-school care program personnel must inform the parent or guardian of the child, in writing, that the after-school care program and its employees and agents are to incur no liability or professional discipline, except for willful and wanton conduct, as a result of any injury arising from the administration of the injection or medication. Provides that a parent or guardian of the child must sign a statement acknowledging such and that the parent or guardian must indemnify and hold harmless the after-school care program and its employees and agents against any claims, except a claim based on willful and wanton conduct, arising out of the administration of the medication or injection regardless of whether authorization was given.
