Relating to the administration of nonprescription medications to certain public and private school students.

HB 3029 allows public and private schools in Texas to administer nonprescription medications (like pain relievers or antihistamines) to students without requiring additional authorization from a healthcare provider. Schools must have a written request from a parent or guardian, use the medication in its original labeled container (unexpired), and follow the dosage instructions on the label. This policy applies to school employees, including nurses, and provides them legal protection from liability claims related to administering such medications. The bill directly affects schools, parents/guardians, and students who need over-the-counter medications during school hours.
