Sabrina's Law
On May 16, 2005 the Ontario Legislature unaminously passed Bill 3 —a private member's Bill (proposed by Dave Levac, MPP for Brant) which requires school boards to have policies that include:
- training for school staff on dealing with life-threatening allergies on a regular basis
- creating individual plans for students who have anaphylaxis allergy
- having emergency procedures in place for anaphylactic pupils
This law took effect on January 1, 2006.
