SECTION 76401-76407




76401.  The governing board of any community college district shall
make such rules for the examination of the students in the community
colleges under its jurisdiction as will ensure proper care of the
students and proper secrecy in connection with any defect noted by
the supervisor of health, or his or her assistant, and may tend to
the correction of the physical defect.



76403.  (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the
governing board of any community college district shall cooperate
with the local health officer in measures necessary for the
prevention and control of communicable diseases in students.
   (b) A registered nurse, acting under the direction of a
supervising physician and surgeon, may perform immunization
techniques within the course of a school immunization program
provided that the administration of an immunizing agent is upon the
standing orders of a supervising physician and surgeon and in
accordance with written regulations which the State Department of
Health Services may adopt pursuant to Section 303.5 of the Health and
Safety Code.
   (c) While nothing in this section shall be construed to require
the physical presence of the supervising physician and surgeon, the
supervising physician and surgeon under whose direction the
registered nurse is acting shall require the nurse to:
   (1) Satisfactorily demonstrate competence in the administration of
immunizing agents, including knowledge of all indications and
contraindications for the administration of these agents, and in the
recognition and treatment of any emergency reactions to agents which
constitute a danger to the health or life of the person receiving the
immunizations; and
   (2) Possess medications and equipment required, in the medical
judgment of the supervising physician and surgeon, to treat any
emergency conditions and reactions caused by the immunizing agents
and which constitute a danger to the health or life of the person
receiving the immunization, and to demonstrate the ability to
administer the medications and to utilize the equipment as necessary.




76407.  (a) Notwithstanding any provision of any law, no community
college district, officer of any community college district, college
president or superintendent, physician, or hospital treating any
minor enrolled in any school in any district shall be held liable for
the reasonable treatment of a minor without the consent of a parent
or guardian of the child when the minor is ill or injured during
regular schools hours, requires reasonable medical treatment, and the
parent or guardian cannot be reached, unless the parent or guardian
has previously filed with the district a written objection to any
medical treatment other than first aid.
   (b) Notwithstanding any provision of any law, no physician and
surgeon who in good faith and without compensation renders voluntary
emergency medical assistance to a participant in a community college
athletic event or contest at the site thereof, or during
transportation to a health care facility, for an injury suffered in
the course of the event or contest, shall be liable for any civil
damages as a result of any acts or omissions by the physician and
surgeon in rendering the emergency medical care. The immunity granted
by this paragraph shall not apply in the event of an act or omission
constituting gross negligence.
