HD 3030 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to youth skin health

This bill allows students, parents, and school staff to use FDA-approved over-the-counter sunscreen on school property or at school events without needing a doctor's note. It specifically clarifies that sunscreen is not treated as a medication under this law. Schools are not required to assist with sunscreen application, though they may promote sun safety education. The policy directly affects students and school personnel by removing barriers to sun protection during school activities.
