Bill Summary

This bill permits the self-application of sunscreen by children in schools and camps without the requirement of a prescription or a licensed health care provider's note. The bill authorizes specific school and camp personnel to apply sunscreen to a child with permission of the child's parent or guardian. The bill also establishes a skin cancer prevention education program in public schools.

AI Summary

This bill allows children in schools and recreation camps to use sunscreen without needing a doctor's note or prescription, provided the sunscreen is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for over-the-counter use. It also permits designated school and camp staff to help children apply sunscreen if parents or guardians give permission, and protects these staff members from legal liability when applying sunscreen according to the bill's provisions. Furthermore, the bill mandates that public schools incorporate age-appropriate education on skin cancer prevention, including the dangers of ultraviolet (UV) radiation and strategies to reduce risk, such as using sunscreen and protective clothing.
