S 1060 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires public schools to develop policy for emergency administration of nasal seizure rescue medication and use of manual vagus nerve stimulators on students with seizure disorders.

S 1060 requires New Jersey public schools to create policies for emergency treatment of students with seizure disorders. Specifically, schools must develop protocols allowing trained staff to administer nasal seizure rescue medication and use manual vagus nerve stimulators when a school nurse isn't present. The policy mandates that school nurses train at least two volunteer staff members, obtain written parental consent, and ensure schools provide liability protections for staff acting in good faith. These policies must align with guidelines developed by the Department of Education and Department of Health, and require hospital transport after emergency treatment.
