PURPOSE:

The Agency is amending the medication administration rules to comply with Chapter 2025-111, Laws of Florida. This law amended section 393.506, F.S., to authorize the subcutaneous administration of insulin and epinephrine by certain qualified individuals providing services to persons with developmental disabilities in Agency-licensed residential facilities. The medication administration rules in Chapter 65G-7, F.A.C., currently prohibit the administration of insulin, and authorize the administration of epinephrine only in emergencies. The statutory amendments authorize “unlicensed direct service providers” who meet the requirements of section 393.506, F.S., and the implementing rules to administer insulin subcutaneously and to supervise the self-administration of insulin subcutaneously. The proposed rule amendments will conform the rules to the law by revising the rule standards and procedures an unlicensed direct service provider must follow when administering insulin pursuant to section 393.506.

SUBJECT:

The education, training, certification and validation requirements for unlicensed direct service providers who wish to be authorized to subcutaneously administer insulin and epinephrine to persons with developmental disabilities.
