Congresswoman Laura Gillen introduces "Gio’s Law," enhancing emergency access to epinephrine for first responders.
Quiver AI Summary
Congresswoman Laura Gillen (NY-04) has introduced a bill titled "Gio's Law," which aims to equip law enforcement officers with EpiPens and the necessary training to respond to anaphylactic emergencies. The legislation honors Giovanni Cipriano, a student who died in 2013 from an allergic reaction. Gillen emphasizes that access to lifesaving epinephrine is crucial for communities.
The bill would create a federal grant program at the U.S. Department of Justice to ensure first responders can effectively address severe allergic reactions. Gillen, alongside Rep. Andrew Garbarino, is advocating for bipartisan support, citing the bill as a public safety issue that could save lives.
Endorsed by various organizations, including the National Association of Police Organizations, Gio's Law seeks to prevent tragic outcomes similar to Cipriano's. The initiative builds on existing efforts in New York, where local government has previously implemented similar measures to enhance public health and safety.
