The "Seizure Safe Schools Act" is a new piece of legislation aimed at improving the management and care of students with seizure disorders in schools. It establishes definitions for key terms such as "governing body," "school," "school employee," and "seizure care personnel." The Act mandates that by December 31, 2025, the Department of Education will create rules for training school employees and bus drivers on seizure disorder management. Each school must ensure that at least two trained personnel are available to provide care for students with seizure disorders, and a seizure action plan must be submitted by the parents or guardians of affected students.

Additionally, the Act provides immunity from civil or professional liability for school employees, including nurses and bus drivers, who act in accordance with the provisions of the law. It emphasizes that the care provided by seizure care personnel does not constitute the practice of nursing and does not diminish the rights of students with seizure disorders under existing federal laws. The legislation aims to ensure that students with seizure disorders receive appropriate care while promoting a safe and supportive school environment.
