An Act relating to seizure disorders in schools
The Seizure-Safe Schools Act requires all public and private schools to ensure at least one trained staff member per school can administer FDA-approved seizure rescue medications and manual vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) magnets. Schools must provide seizure recognition and first-aid training to all staff with student contact, obtain written parental and medical authorization for medications, and develop individualized seizure action plans for students diagnosed with seizure disorders. The law applies only to schools with enrolled students using such medications or diagnosed with seizure disorders, and mandates age-appropriate seizure education for all students. It also provides liability protection for school staff acting in good faith under the approved health plans.
