An Act allowing the administration of antiseizure medication on school busses
This bill allows school bus drivers or monitors to administer prescription anti-seizure medication to students during a seizure emergency, at the explicit authorization of a parent or legal guardian. It requires schools to notify bus providers when a student has a seizure disorder and to provide the school with a physician's letter confirming the need for emergency medication. Schools must also ensure bus staff receive training on recognizing seizure symptoms and safely administering the prescribed medication. The law directly affects students with epilepsy or similar conditions, their families, and school bus personnel. It modifies existing rules to permit this emergency medication administration under specific, documented conditions.
