House Bill 684 amends the Education Code to authorize the parent or guardian of a public school student with a seizure disorder to seek care for the student's seizures while the student is at school or participating in a school activity by submitting to the school district a copy of a seizure management and treatment plan developed by the parent or guardian and the physician responsible for the student's seizure treatment. The bill provides for the contents, submission, and district review of the plan and for certain limitations on the civil liability of a district employee who provides care to the student under the plan. The bill sets out associated training requirements for a school nurse and for other district employees.
