AI Summary
This bill amends the Public School Code of 1949 to enhance seizure recognition and first aid training for school personnel. Specifically, it mandates that beginning with the 2025-2026 school year and every three years thereafter, school nurses and other school employees who have direct contact with students must complete training approved by the Department of Health on recognizing seizures, understanding seizure action plans, and providing related first aid. The bill also clarifies that this training does not create or expand civil liability for school entities or their employees, and that existing good Samaritan laws protecting school employees who provide emergency care will apply.
