ALBANY, N.Y. — We know Epipens can save lives by reversing the effects of allergic reactions.
But, current state law actually prohibits police and firefighters from carrying the devices.
That may be about to change.
The New York State Senate just passed a bill that would allow those first responders to carry Epipens.
The sponsor told our affiliate in Albany that he heard from a lot of police and fire departments -- asking the law be changed.
This would still need approval in the Assembly before going to the governor's desk.
