An act relating to student application of sunscreen
This bill requires public and approved independent schools in Vermont to allow students to bring and apply their own nonaerosolized sunscreen on school property or at school-sponsored events. Students must have written permission from a parent or guardian to carry and use the sunscreen, but they do not need a doctor's note or prescription. The law also removes the requirement for schools to store sunscreen in a specific location. These changes take effect on July 1, 2024.
