Battle over EpiPens in schools pits politics against kids' safety
Current state law allows children with diagnosed allergies to keep their
prescribed epinephrine auto-injectors, commonly known under the brand name
EpiPen, at school in case of a reaction. It's a good law, but it leaves out
all the children who have no idea whether they have severe allergies.
Senate Republican leader Bob Huff of Diamond Bar has a bill that would fix
the oversight and require schools to keep a stock of epinephrine auto-
injectors and train some school personnel to use them in an emergency. But
this potentially lifesaving legislation is being fought by teachers unions
unhappy with the shifting of duties from school nurses to teachers.
