To allow children at children’s camps to possess and use epinephrine auto-injectors or epinephrine inhalers to treat anaphylaxis, which is a serious allergic reaction that occurs in response to a particular trigger, such as a bee sting or the ingestion of peanuts by those who are allergic to them. The bill would require that the student provide the camp director with written approval from both a physician and a parent or legal guardian. It would also revise the definition of a "children's camp." Under current law, this is a residential, day, troop, or travel camp conducted in a natural environment for more than four school-age children, apart from the children's parents, relatives, or legal guardians, for five or more days in a 14-day period. The bill would delete the reference to a natural environment, and eliminate "for five or more days in a 14-day period".
