Exempted State Mandate
Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill requires schools to adopt written policies and procedures to allow students to possess and self-administer asthma inhalers and epinephrine pens in schools.  The additional costs of the state mandate to individual school units are not expected to be significant.  Pursuant to the Mandate Preamble, the two-thirds vote of all members elected to each House exempts the State from the constitutional requirement to fund 90% of the additional local costs.
