A bill for an act relating to school personnel training, including by implementing provisions related to emergency care planning, authorizations for assisting, and limitations of liability concerning students with epilepsy or seizure disorder, and requiring the department of education to convene a health care-related training for school personnel work group.

This bill requires school districts and accredited nonpublic schools to implement new training and emergency care provisions for students with epilepsy or seizure disorder. It mandates that by July 2025, each school must have at least one employee trained to administer seizure medications or assist with vagus nerve stimulators. By December 2026, all school personnel must receive training on recognizing seizure signs and providing first aid, with biennial refreshers for staff supervising students. Schools must also collaborate with parents to develop individual health and seizure action plans for affected students and are granted liability protection when acting in good faith under these plans. Additionally, the Department of Education will convene a work group to review broader health care training needs for school personnel.
