Seizure Safe Schools Act of 2026
To require the Secretary of Education to issue guidance regarding seizure safety in elementary schools and secondary schools, and for other purposes.
The Seizure Safe Schools Act of 2026 aims to ensure that elementary and secondary schools are prepared to handle situations involving seizures. The bill mandates the Secretary of Education to create guidelines that schools can follow to keep students safe during seizure incidents. This includes training for teachers and staff, as well as protocols for handling medical emergencies related to seizures.
This bill would directly affect all elementary and secondary schools across the country. By implementing seizure safety measures, schools could potentially reduce injuries and improve the safety and well-being of students who experience seizures. Parents and school administrators would also benefit from clear, actionable guidelines.
HB9956 was introduced on July 27, 2026, and was immediately referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce. This bill is in the early stages of the legislative process, and further steps will include committee review, potential amendments, and a vote by the full House.
