Suffolk County rolling out Gio's Law to ensure police cars have EpiPens on hand
HAUPPAGUE, N.Y. -- Elected officials in Suffolk County are set to announce new legislation that calls for EpiPens in all police cars.
The county has adopted Gio's Law, named after a 14-year-old Long Island resident who lost his life to a deadly allergic reaction to peanuts.
Gio's Law authorizes certain New York emergency service providers to be trained to treat anaphylaxis and carry epinephrine in their vehicles.
A press conference will get underway at 11 a.m.
