In response to Senate Bill
66, 84th Legislative Session, the Stock
Epinephrine Advisory Committee (SEAC) was formed. It's goal is to examine and review the
administration of epinephrine auto-injectors to a person experiencing an
anaphylactic reaction on a school campus. The committee is tasked with advising the commissioner on:
- the
storage and maintenance of epinephrine auto-injectors on school campuses,
- the training of school personnel and school volunteers on the administration of
epinephrine auto-injectors, and
- a plan for trained school personnel or
school volunteers to be on each school campus.
During the 2017 Legislative Session, Senate Bill
1367 passed into law. It allowed institutions of
higher education to adopt and implement epinephrine auto-injector policies on
their campuses (Texas Education Code, Chapter 51, Subchapter Y-1).
