Requires the commissioner of education to establish uniform statewide protocols for diapering and toileting students in public schools
This bill requires the state education commissioner to create uniform rules for diapering and toileting students in public schools. The new protocols mandate that schools provide safe, accessible facilities and necessary supplies to maintain a sanitary environment for these activities. The law applies to a wide range of institutions, including public school districts, special education schools, and private schools serving students with disabilities. Schools must follow these guidelines to ensure a safe and healthy setting for students who require assistance with toileting.
