There is very important legislation that needs to be passed on the state and hopefully, one day, at the federal level. In short it's the "stock epi law". This law would make it so that schools could have epi pens on hand in case someone without a diagnosed allergy had a reaction. Epi saves lives. This law has been passed in other states and it has been put to use and it has worked and saved lives.
Here is the information on how you can help get this law passed on a federal level.

URGENT NEED FOR CALLS AND EMAILS TO SENATOR BROCK: 919-715-0690

We just found out the deadline for the non-specific epinephrine legislation is THIS THURSDAY for it to be filed. This office has not done so, although we were told it was in motion. PLEASE CALL THEM IMMEDIATELY, today, only takes a minute to help this worthy, life saving cause. Thanks so much!
There are defibrillators at malls, schools, office buildings and so on. Epi pens should be right there next to them. I see it as common sense and life saving. What about you?
