Introduced on June 17, 2025 by Laura Gillen
This bill, called Gio’s Law, would help police and other law enforcement get and use epinephrine to treat people having an anaphylactic reaction. It creates a federal grant program so states and local governments can buy epinephrine products and train officers to spot the symptoms and give the medicine. The Attorney General must set or choose a training program within 180 days of the law taking effect. To get a grant, a state must confirm that officers who are allowed to give epinephrine are protected from being sued for doing so. “Epinephrine products” include auto-injectors and other devices that help give epinephrine without a shot.
The bill authorizes $25 million each year from 2026 through 2030 for these grants. It also requires an annual public report on how often law enforcement gives epinephrine, and it launches a public awareness campaign within 180 days to teach people about anaphylaxis symptoms and the role of officers and first responders in giving epinephrine.
