The bill amends existing Florida statutes to enhance the care and management of students with epilepsy and seizure disorders. It revises the responsibilities of the Department of Health to include educational programs that incorporate training requirements specified in section 1006.0626. The definition of "school" is expanded to include charter schools, and the requirements for a student's individualized seizure action plan (ISAP) are updated to ensure comprehensive care. This includes the necessity for written orders from medical professionals and specific accommodations for students during school-related activities.

Additionally, the bill mandates that school district employees who regularly interact with students must complete training on recognizing and managing epilepsy and seizure disorders, with training validity set for five years. Schools are also required to display a poster outlining the basic steps for responding to seizures, with resources provided by national nonprofit organizations. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
