Epinephrine Bills Update & Call to Action

Newark, NJ
Essex County School Nurses Association

Our thanks to Sheila Caldwell, BSN, RN, CSN, FNASN for her leadership and advocacy for the vital epinephrine legislation downloaded from the NJSSNA School Nurse Net post of 1/30/2026 quoted below:

"Continue to send letters and calls!

On 1/13/2026 after the new 2026-2027 legislators were sworn into their positions, the bills were re-introduced and the new bill numbers are S944/A181 (https://www.njleg.state.nj.us/bill-search/2026/S944 and https://www.njleg.state.nj.us/bill-search/2026/A181.

So, we need more of you and NJ residents to send emails and call to get additional co-sponsors to the bills. I updated the base template that I created! (https://docs.google.com/.../1rl2u77lsNaxZ9RdrM7buMzL.../edit and legislators can be found at https://www.njleg.state.nj.us/district-map )

Be sure to personalize the letters and messaging!

We'll hope that over the next couple months that the legislators will vote and move the bills onto the governor.

Just wanting to give you the update.
