Drugs, Prescription - As introduced, allows a student to possess and self-administer rescue seizure medication at school or at a school-related activity or event. - Amends TCA Title 49, Chapter 50, Part 16.

HB 44 allows students with prescribed rescue seizure medication (like emergency seizure drugs) to possess and self-administer it at school or school events. It requires three specific authorizations: a parent/guardian written statement, a healthcare provider's written details about the medication, and a liability waiver signed by parents. The medication must stay in its original sealed package with pharmacy label intact, and schools must keep these documents on file. The bill takes effect July 1, 2025, and clarifies that schools aren't liable for standard use (except in cases of willful misconduct).
