S 648 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires under certain circumstances development by certified school nurse of individualized health care plan and individualized emergency health care plan for student with life-threatening allergies or anaphylaxis.

This bill requires certified school nurses in New Jersey to create two specific plans for students with life-threatening allergies or anaphylaxis: an individualized health care plan (IHP) and an individualized emergency health care plan (IEHCP). Parents must provide annual written authorization for these plans, which must include allergy symptoms, treatment protocols, activity accommodations, and staff training requirements. The school nurse coordinates all care, ensures staff are trained to recognize and respond to reactions (including during after-school activities), and updates plans annually or as a student's health changes. The bill directly affects students with severe allergies, their parents, school nurses, and all school personnel who interact with these students.
