California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified February 3, 2026

What AB 228 does, verified February 3, 2026

<p>This bill aims to improve pupil health by replacing references to epinephrine auto-injectors with epinephrine delivery systems. It requires school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools to provide at least one type of FDA-approved epinephrine delivery system, which can be used to provide emergency medical aid to students suffering from anaphylactic reactions. The bill also authorizes students to carry and self-administer prescription epinephrine delivery systems with written statements from a physician and the student's parent or guardian. The bill declares it takes effect immediately as an urgency statute, with the state responsible for reimbursing local agencies and school districts for any additional costs mandated by the state.</p>
