Plain-language change summary

The amendment to § 22.1-289.059 of the Code of Virginia clarifies the requirements for early childhood care and education entities regarding epinephrine administration. It specifies that at least one nurse, employee, or authorized local health department worker must have access to an appropriate weight-based dosage of epinephrine during regular facility hours and that family day home providers are required to inform parents whether epinephrine is stored in their homes. This update emphasizes the need for accessible medication and communication with parents to ensure children's safety in case of an anaphylactic reaction.
