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

SB 1174 amends Texas Education Code Section 22.052 to allow school employees (including nurses) to administer over-the-counter medications to students without requiring additional written authorization from a healthcare provider. It directly affects public and private K-12 schools and students needing common nonprescription medicines like pain relievers or antihistamines. The key provision requires written parental consent, ensures medication is in its original labeled container, and mandates doses match the container’s instructions. This simplifies the process for routine nonprescription medications while maintaining safety standards for school staff.
