Summary
California SB 1347 authorizing schools to provide emergency stock albuterol inhalers and explicitly authorizing pharmacies to furnish them to local educational agencies.
Full Description
CA SB 1347 would expand California's school asthma medication policies by explicitly authorizing a pharmacy to furnish stock albuterol inhalers to a local educational agency pursuant to a written order from an authorized health care provider. Existing California law already authorizes school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools to provide emergency stock albuterol inhalers. This bill strengthens that framework by clarifying the pharmacy supply chain and expanding access. If enacted, California would join the growing number of states permitting stock albuterol in schools.
Key Provisions
Explicitly authorizes pharmacies to furnish stock albuterol inhalers to schools; strengthens existing school stock albuterol authorization; expands access to emergency asthma medication in California schools.
