HB 2653 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Allows students to apply sunscreen at school

HB 2653 permits public and charter school students to self-apply FDA-regulated sunscreen without requiring parental or physician authorization. If a student cannot apply sunscreen themselves, school staff may do so with written consent from a parent or guardian. The bill also protects school employees and their employers from liability for adverse reactions or stopping sunscreen application, as long as they follow the written consent process. This directly affects students and school staff by simplifying sunscreen access for sunburn prevention during school activities.
