Regards SUDEP, epilepsy license designation, disability database

Summary

The measure requires coroners and pathologists to check for sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) during autopsies, record it on death certificates, and report it to a registry. It also creates a voluntary verification form so Ohioans diagnosed with a disability, including epilepsy, can be listed in a state disability database and have an epilepsy designation on their driver’s license or state ID. Health officials must provide education and counseling about SUDEP risk to patients and caregivers.
