HB 1010 Student possession and self-administration of asthma medications.
Introduced by: Harvey B. Morgan | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Student possession and self-administration of inhaled asthma medications. Directs school boards to develop and implement policies to permit students who have a diagnosis of asthma to possess and self-administer inhaled asthma medications during the school day. The student must have written consent from a parent; written notice from a doctor or nurse practitioner that identifies the student, notes the diagnosis of asthma and approval to self-administer inhaled asthma medications; specifies the name and dosage of the medication, the frequency of administration, and circumstances which warrant the use of the medication; and attests to the student's demonstrated ability to self-administer safely and effectively. The policies must also provide for development of an individualized health care plan, including emergency procedures for any life-threatening conditions; consultation with the student's parent before any limitations or restrictions are imposed on the student's possession and self-administration of inhaled asthma medications, and before the permission to possess and self-administer inhaled asthma medications is revoked; for the self-administration of inhaled asthma medication to be consistent with the purposes of the Virginia School Health guidelines and the Guidelines for Specialized Health Care Procedure manuals; and for disclosure or dissemination of information pertaining to the health condition of a student to school board employees to comply with state and federal law relating to student scholastic records. The permission to possess and self-administer asthma medications is effective for one year, defined as 365 calendar days, and must be renewed annually. School principals and other employees of school boards and local health department personnel assigned to public schools, who supervise the self-administration of inhaled asthma medications by a student, will be immune from liability for any civil damages for acts or omissions resulting from the supervision of self-administration of inhaled asthma medications, when such function is performed in good faith, without compensation, and in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. The measure incorporates HB 1386.
