QuoteGov. Chris Christie today signed a bill (A-304/S-801) that requires schools to keep a supply of epinephrine auto-injectors and provides immunity to nurses and other trained personnel when using them in cases of emergency.
QuoteNurses or other trained faculty must be acting in good faith when administering the epinephrine and could still be liable if they are deemed to have acted recklessly, according to the bill.
