The Department of Health must manage a new, specific public health mandate related to child safety and severe allergic reactions. This requires the agency to allocate resources for the creation, review, and distribution of new educational materials to child care centers across the Commonwealth.

This legislation is part of a broader trend of state-level action in Pennsylvania, where lawmakers are passing bills to address various public safety and health concerns, including human trafficking and the use of body cameras by county probation officers.
