Police officers would get emergency allergy medicine and training to help people having severe allergic reactions.
This bill, called "Gio's Law," would create a new federal grant program. It would help state, local, and tribal police agencies buy epinephrine products, like EpiPens, and train their officers to use them. This means officers could respond to life-threatening allergic reactions, and the public would learn more about these emergencies.
Today, there is no specific federal grant program to help police departments get emergency allergy medicine or train officers to use it. This bill would create a new grant program, setting aside $25 million each year from the government's budget year 2026 through 2030, to help state, local, and tribal police agencies buy these products and get training. It would also require a public awareness campaign and annual reporting on how often officers use epinephrine.
