A 2408 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires public schools to develop policy for emergency administration of nasal seizure rescue medication and use of manual vagus nerve stimulator on student with seizure disorder.

This bill requires New Jersey public schools to create written policies for emergency use of nasal seizure rescue medication and manual vagus nerve stimulators on students with seizure disorders. School nurses must develop these policies with training for designated staff, obtain parental written consent and liability waivers, and ensure hospital transport after emergency use. Schools must also provide age-appropriate epilepsy education at least once between kindergarten-third grade and grades six-12. The policy takes effect 12 months after enactment to allow time for training development.
