Relating to the administration of medication by open-enrollment charter schools, private schools, and school employees.
This bill protects charter and private schools from lawsuits when administering medication to students, provided they follow specific safety rules. Schools must have a written request from a parent or guardian and use properly labeled medication containers - either the original container or pre-filled unit doses prepared by a qualified staff member. The immunity covers both prescription and non-prescription medications under these conditions. It ensures schools and their employees are shielded from civil liability for medication administration errors when policies are followed.
