The "Seizure Safe Schools Act" is a new legislative measure aimed at enhancing the management and care of students with seizure disorders within schools. The Act mandates the establishment of a seizure action plan for each affected student, which must be submitted by the parent or guardian and include detailed medical instructions and accommodations for school activities. It also requires that school employees and bus drivers receive annual training on recognizing and responding to seizure disorders, with specific training for school nurses and designated seizure care personnel on administering necessary medications and treatments.

Additionally, the Act provides legal protections for school employees, including nurses and bus drivers, by granting them immunity from civil or professional liability when acting in accordance with the provisions of the Act. It clarifies that the responsibilities outlined do not constitute the practice of nursing and ensures that the rights of students with seizure disorders are upheld in compliance with federal laws. Overall, the Act aims to create a safer and more supportive environment for students with seizure disorders in New Mexico schools.
