HF 102 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to school personnel training, emergency care planning, authorizations for assisting, and limitations of liability concerning students with epilepsy or a seizure disorder.

HF 102 requires Iowa schools to train all staff on recognizing seizures and providing first aid by December 2026, with biennial refresher training for those supervising students. Starting July 2025, schools must ensure at least one staff member (or a full-time school nurse) is trained to assist with approved seizure medications or vagus nerve stimulation devices. For students with epilepsy or on seizure medication, schools must create individual health plans and seizure action plans with annual parental authorization. The bill also provides liability protection for schools and staff acting in good faith under these plans.
