"Seizure Safe Schools Act"; establish.
This Mississippi bill, known as the Seizure Safe Schools Act, requires public schools to have at least one trained staff member or vendor at each campus starting in the 2025-2026 school year to assist with seizure rescue medications. To allow a school to administer these drugs, parents must provide written authorization, a doctor's statement detailing the medication, and a sealed prescription, while schools must maintain a written seizure action plan on file. The law also grants legal immunity to school employees who act in good faith and follow medical instructions when helping a student experiencing a seizure episode. These measures apply only to schools that currently have students or staff with diagnosed seizure disorders and require the necessary FDA-approved medications.
