What This Bill Proposed
Beginning in the 2025-2026 school year, Kansas school districts with an enrolled student who has a seizure disorder must provide up to one hour of seizure recognition and first aid training to every employee working in that school building. The measure also sets requirements for s and medication administration, while granting immunity from civil liability for acts or omissions related to the training or implementation.
School employees in qualifying buildings face new annual training mandates, while parents must provide specific written authorizations and healthcare provider statements before rescue medications can be administered on site.
