1. A. The Board shall amend its regulations to require each child day center to implement policies for the possession and administration of epinephrine in every such center to be administered by any nurse at the center, employee at the center, or employee of a local health department who is authorized by a prescriber and trained in the administration of epinephrine to any child believed to be having an anaphylactic reaction. Such policies shall require that at least one school nurse, employee at the center, or employee of a local health department who is authorized by a prescriber and trained in the administration of epinephrine has the means to access at all times during regular facility hours any such appropriate weight-based dosage of epinephrine that is stored in a locked or otherwise generally inaccessible container or area.
2. B. The Board shall amend its regulations to require each home-based child care provider or at least one other caregiver employed by such provider in the home-based child care to be trained in the administration of epinephrine and to notify the parents of each child who receives care in such home-based child care whether the provider stores an appropriate weight-based dosage of epinephrine in the residence or home in which the home-based child care operates.
