CA SB1051

Authorizes school districts to train school employees to administer diastat (diazepam rectal gel) to pupils with epilepsy experiencing seizures when a credentialed school nurse or licensed nurse is not onsite.

Requires parent or guardian of a pupil prescribed diastat to request the training, and mandates schools notify parents of Section 504 accommodation options under the federal Rehabilitation Act.

Requires schools implementing the program to develop a school plan including identification of trained staff, written parent authorization, health care provider instructions, and seizure action protocols.

Establishes that the Epilepsy Foundation of America shall develop performance standards for training (with State Department of Public Health approval) covering seizure recognition, diastat administration, emergency procedures, and privacy techniques.

Sunsets on January 1, 2016, unless extended by subsequent legislation; participation by school employees is entirely voluntary with protections against coercion.
