MS HB346

Beginning July 1, 2025, each public school must have at least one employee or vendor trained to administer seizure rescue medication approved by the FDA.

Parents or guardians must provide written authorization and a statement from the student's healthcare provider containing medication name, dosage, route of administration, frequency, and circumstances for use before medication can be administered at school.

Parents or guardians must collaborate with school personnel to create a written seizure action plan, which along with the healthcare provider statement must be kept on file by the school nurse or administrator.

School employees and agents acting in good faith and in substantial compliance with a student's health plan are immune from criminal prosecution and civil liability for providing seizure assistance.

Requirements apply only to schools with employees or students who have a seizure disorder and a prescribed FDA-approved seizure medication.
