SEIZURE SAFE SCHOOLS ACT

SB 191, the Seizure Safe Schools Act, requires New Mexico schools to provide trained staff for students with seizure disorders. It mandates annual training for all school employees (including bus drivers) on recognizing seizures and first aid by December 2026, and ensures each school with affected students has at least two trained personnel (school nurses or volunteers) to administer medications and use medical devices. Schools must implement individualized "seizure action plans" provided by parents, detailing medical needs, accommodations, and emergency protocols for all school activities. The bill applies directly to students with seizure disorders, school staff, and school boards, focusing on concrete safety protocols rather than policy debates. (Note: This is a proposed bill pending in committee as of January 2026.)
