Bill > SB1171

This bill amends the Public School Code of 1949 to allow for the administration of emergency anti-seizure medication to students with epilepsy in public schools. It outlines the process for training school employees to provide this emergency medical assistance in the absence of a credentialed nurse, including the voluntary nature of the program, the required training and guidelines, and the liability protections for the school district and trained employees. The bill also requires schools to notify parents about the option for their child to be assessed for accommodations under the Rehabilitation Act and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act if no volunteers come forward to provide the emergency assistance.
