Statewide standing order
No[NO]
No statewide standing order. A prescriber writes one prescription naming the authorized entity as the patient; the Michigan Department of Education's guidance reads that as covering every building in a district.
MCL 333.17744a(1)
How to get it in Michigan
Two documents: a prescription in your organization's name, and a standing order saying when trained staff may use it.
- Everyone
- Michigan does not issue a statewide standing order, so a prescriber signs yours. Any physician can, and in most states a nurse practitioner or PA can too.
Then the devices
Buy standard auto-injectors through your usual pharmacy or medical supplier, which is what most organizations do.

Notes
Storage and access: MCL 333.17744d requires an authorized entity to store epinephrine "in a location readily accessible in an emergency." Michigan is one of the states whose law speaks to where the medication is kept, not only whether it may be kept. (The statute governs authorized entities under MCL 333.17744a(6)(b) - camps, youth sports leagues, amusement parks, nonpublic schools, religious institutions, sports arenas - not public school boards.)
