Bill Summary
This bill requires the Department of Health (department) to disseminate information on seizure first aid to employers. The bill defines "seizure first aid" to mean non-medical procedures to respond, attend, and provide comfort and safety to a person suffering from a primary generalized tonic-clonic seizure or complex partial seizure. Under the bill, the department is to make available on its Internet website information for employers on rendering seizure first aid to an individual who has suffered a seizure in the workplace. The department is to also disseminate such information to employers in a manner to be determined by the Commissioner of Health. An employer in this State may provide the information disseminated by the department to employees and post the information in a prominent place within the employer's workplace.
