HD 2422 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act updating the administration of medications in schools statute to include epilepsy

This bill requires school districts to allow students with epilepsy (or other seizure-inducing illnesses) to possess and self-administer their prescribed anti-seizure medication during school hours. It removes any existing prohibitions against this practice, provided students follow Department of Public Health regulations for self-administering prescription medications. The law directly affects students with seizure disorders and school districts, ensuring they can manage their medication needs safely within school settings. It does not create new medication rules but clarifies that schools cannot block this self-administration under existing public health guidelines.
