Bill > SB0167

This bill requires school corporations and charter schools to implement mandatory seizure recognition and response training for all employees who have direct, ongoing contact with children. Specifically, new job applicants must complete this training before or within 30 days of starting employment, while existing employees must attend the training annually. The training can be delivered through various formats, including in-person presentations, online self-review modules, individual study materials, or other methods approved by the school's governing body. The training must be consistent with guidelines from the Epilepsy Foundation of America and can be conducted during the employee's contracted work day or at a time of the employee's choosing. Additionally, this training will count toward the professional development requirements for school employees. The bill aims to ensure that school staff are prepared to recognize seizure symptoms and respond appropriately, potentially improving student safety and emergency response in educational settings. The new requirements will take effect on July 1, 2025.
