SB 344

This bill requires each LEA and public charter school to require at least one full-time employee at each school under its jurisdiction to annually receive training in seizure safety and first aid to assist students and staff in the event of an emergency. The training required for public and nonpublic school personnel who volunteer to assist in the administration of anti-seizure medications to a student in an emergency situation satisfies the training if it also includes training in seizure safety and first aid. This bill provides that an LEA or public charter school is not liable for any personal injury that results from an act or omission of an employee who is trained in seizure safety and first aid, if the employee's act or omission does not amount to w illful or wanton misconduct or gross negligence. An employee of an LEA or public charter school who is trained in seizure safety and first aid is not liable for any personal injury that results from an act or omission of the employee if the act or omissio n does not amount to willful or wanton misconduct or gross negligence. This bill clarifies that, as used in this bill, an "employee"" does not include a school nurse who is employed or under contract with the LEA or public charter school."
