This bill mandates that school districts establish a policy that prohibits school personnel from transporting minor students for medical or health-related appointments without the prior knowledge and consent of a parent or guardian. The only exception to this rule is if the transportation is conducted in accordance with a published school district emergency health or medical protocol or policy. The new legal language is inserted into RSA 186:11 as a new paragraph IX-f, which outlines the requirements for this policy.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the prohibition applies to any minor who is not an immediate family member and that emergency transport by ambulance is exempt from this requirement. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage. The bill aims to ensure that parents or guardians are informed and involved in decisions regarding their children's medical transportation.
