Requires school districts to maintain supply of nasal rescue medication and oxygen for seizure emergencies; provides for training of designees to administer nasal rescue medication and oxygen when school nurse is not physically present.

Summary

The bill obligates every New Jersey school district to keep approved nasal rescue medications (such as diazepam or midazolam spray) and portable oxygen devices in accessible, unlocked locations. School nurses will designate these sites and can name trained employees to give the medication during a seizure if the nurse is not on the scene, provided parents give written consent and sign an indemnity. The state will reimburse districts for the associated costs.
