An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in school health services, further providing for seizure recognition and related first aid training.
SB 999 amends Pennsylvania's Public School Code to require school districts to provide training on recognizing seizures and administering first aid for seizure emergencies to appropriate staff. This directly affects school employees, including teachers and nurses, who may respond to student health incidents during school hours. The key provision mandates that this training be integrated into existing school health services programs. The bill aims to improve student safety by ensuring staff are equipped to handle seizure-related emergencies effectively.
