§ 18a:61d-14.

a. An institution of higher education may develop a policy, in accordance with the

guidelines established by the secretary pursuant to section 6 of P.L.2013, c. 211 ( C.18A:61D-16 ), for the emergency administration of epinephrine via a pre-filled auto-injector

mechanism to a member of the campus community for anaphylaxis when a medical professional

is not available. The policy shall: (1) permit a trained designee, under the guidance of a licensed campus medical professional,

to administer epinephrine via a pre-filled auto-injector mechanism to a member of

the campus community for whom the designee is responsible, when the designee in good

faith believes that the member of the campus community is having an anaphylactic reaction; (2) permit a trained designee, when responsible for the safety of one or more members

of the campus community, to carry in a secure but easily accessible location a supply

of pre-filled epinephrine auto-injectors that is prescribed under a standing protocol

from a licensed physician; and (3) provide that the licensed campus medical professional shall have responsibility

for: training designees on how to identify an anaphylactic reaction, how to identify

the indications for when to use epinephrine, and how to administer epinephrine via

a pre-filled auto-injector mechanism; and distributing prescribed pre-filled epinephrine

auto-injectors to trained designees. b. Each institution of higher education that develops a policy pursuant to subsection

a. of this section shall designate a physician, physician assistant, advanced practice

nurse, or registered nurse who is appropriately licensed by the State of New Jersey

to serve as the licensed campus medical professional. c. A licensed campus medical professional is authorized to: (1) establish and administer a standardized training protocol for the emergency administration

of epinephrine by trained designees; (2) ensure that trained designees have satisfactorily completed the training protocol; (3) obtain a supply of pre-filled epinephrine auto-injectors under a standing protocol

from a licensed physician; and (4) control distribution to trained designees of pre-filled epinephrine auto-injectors.
