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 comprehensive framework that includes the training of school employees and bus drivers on seizure disorder management, the creation of individualized seizure action plans for affected students, and the provision of necessary seizure care during school hours and activities. Each governing body is required to ensure that at least two trained personnel are available at schools attended by students with seizure disorders, and that annual training is provided on recognizing seizures and administering appropriate care.

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 activities performed by seizure care personnel do not constitute the practice of nursing, thereby exempting them from certain regulatory restrictions. The legislation emphasizes the importance of adhering to federal laws regarding the rights of students with disabilities, ensuring that the needs of students with seizure disorders are met without compromising their rights or the obligations of school districts.
