N.Y. Education Law § 919: On-site nebulizers

* § 919. On-site nebulizers. 1. The board of education or trustees of

the school district responsible for providing health services in a

school, or the board of cooperative educational services in the case of

programs under its jurisdiction, shall make a nebulizer available

on-site in every public and private school building in which full or

part time nurse services are provided. Nebulizers in such school

buildings shall be made available to allow reasonable access to all

public and private school students with a patient specific order, who

require inhaled medications administered by a nebulizer, provided,

however, that nebulizers shall be administered by a school nurse or

physician pursuant to the student's patient specific order. Every

nebulizer shall be maintained in working order by the school district or

board of cooperative educational services that provides school health

services to the school building where the nebulizer is located.

2. The commissioner shall be authorized to promulgate regulations for

the implementation of this section.

* NB Not effective pursuant to confirmation from DOB stating no

funding has been provided for nebulizers (see ch. 672/2007).
