House Bill 476 amends the Education Code to require each public institution of higher education that adopts a policy regarding the maintenance, storage, administration, and disposal of epinephrine auto-injectors on campus to include the policy in the institution's student handbook or similar publication and publish the policy on the institution's website. The bill requires the institution to submit to the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) a copy of the policy and any amendment to the policy and requires DSHS to maintain a record of the most recent policy and amendments submitted by each institution and make that information available to the public on request.
