The bill enacts a new section, R.S. 17:436.5, which focuses on the management and treatment of students diagnosed with sickle cell disease. It allows the parent or guardian of a student with this condition to submit a management and treatment plan to the school administration. This plan, developed in collaboration with the student's treating physician, is intended for use by school employees who interact regularly with the student.

The management plan must outline necessary healthcare accommodations for the student while at school or during school activities. These accommodations may include unrestricted access to restrooms, adequate hydration, and limitations on physical activity. Additionally, the plan must be signed by both the student's parent or guardian and the treating physician, ensuring that all parties are in agreement regarding the student's needs.
