Nassau County lawmakers push to equip police vehicles with EpiPens

Nassau County Legislator Seth Koslow introduced a bill last week that, if passed, would direct Nassau County Police Departments to equip all vehicles with epinephrine auto-injectors, or EpiPens, as well as provide officers with training to administer them.

The bill was unveiled at a press conference joined by advocates, local officials, and supporters. The legislation, “Gio’s Law,” is named after Giovanni Cipriano, a Lawrence resident who lost his life in 2013 due to an allergic reaction to peanuts.
