Summary

Existing law, the California Child Day Care Facilities Act, provides for the licensure and regulation of daycare centers, as defined, and family daycare homes, as defined, by the State Department of Social Services. A violation of the act is a crime. Existing law declares the intent of the Legislature to encourage any person who provides childcare in a licensed child daycare facility to have certain elementary health care training, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation and pediatric first aid. Existing law authorizes licensees and staff of a child daycare facility to perform blood glucose testing and administer inhaled medication to a child if specified requirements are met. Existing law requires school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools to provide emergency epinephrine auto-injectors, as defined, to school nurses and trained personnel who have volunteered to use epinephrine auto-injectors under emergency circumstances, as specified, and authorizes school nurses and trained personnel to use epinephrine auto-injectors to provide emergency medical aid to persons suffering, or reasonably believed to be suffering, from an anaphylactic reaction. This bill would require the State Department of Social Services by January 1, 2025, to establish a program to authorize child daycare facilities to keep emergency epinephrine auto-injectors onsite to be administered by trained, volunteer personnel to provide emergency medical aid to a person who is suffering, or reasonably believed to be suffering, from an anaphylactic reaction. The bill would require the department to develop a training program for the participating personnel, which would include components, including, but not limited to, techniques for recognizing symptoms of anaphylaxis and emergency followup procedures. Existing law authorizes a pharmacy to furnish epinephrine auto-injectors to a school district, county office of education, or charter school if certain requirements are met. This bill would authorize a pharmacy to furnish epinephrine auto-injectors to the State Department of Health Care Services under the program created pursuant to this bill, subject to similar requirements.
