Governor Bruce Rauner has signed a law protecting health professionals who provide police officers with life-saving EpiPen injections.

Rauner signed an expansion of what is known as Annie LeGere’s Law. The thirteen-year-old died in August 2015 after a severe allergic reaction during a sleepover. Annie’s reaction likely was to something she ate.

The original law provided legal liability protection to police officers who administer EpiPen injections to those suffering allergic reactions. The new law protects doctors and others who write standing EpiPen prescriptions for police agencies to carry them.
