H 4641 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relating to seizure disorders in schools

H 4641, the "Seizure-Safe Schools Act," requires public and private schools with students diagnosed with seizure disorders to ensure at least one trained staff member can administer FDA-approved seizure rescue medications or assist with Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) magnets. Schools must provide staff training on recognizing seizures and first aid, obtain written parental authorization and healthcare provider documentation for medication use, and develop individualized seizure action plans for affected students. The law mandates these requirements only for schools with enrolled students needing such care, and provides liability protection for staff acting in good faith under the plan. It takes effect one year after enactment.
