Plain-language change summary

The recent changes to Bill SB 1504 clarify how schools in Oregon can administer epinephrine to students with asthma or severe allergies. Specifically, the bill now allows the use of various methods for administering epinephrine, not just injections, which makes it easier for schools to provide immediate care during emergencies. This flexibility could improve safety for students who may need quick access to allergy treatment while at school or during school activities.
