Reported from EDU/HHS (Stand. Com. Rep. No. 2474) with recommendation of passage on Second Reading and referral to JDC.
Summary
The bill lets school health assistants and other trained employees give prescribed oral, nasal, topical, or emergency medication to students when parents consent and a health professional authorizes it. It shields the Department of Education and its staff from civil or criminal suits unless their conduct is grossly negligent or intentional. The goal is to ensure students with disabilities receive needed treatments without staff fearing legal repercussions.
