Allows students, parents, and school personnel to use FDA-regulated sunscreen on school property without a prescription.

The bill amends Chapter 71 of the Massachusetts General Laws to allow any person, including students, parents, or school personnel, to possess and use FDA-regulated topical sunscreen products on school property or at school-related events without a physician’s note or prescription. The bill clarifies that sunscreen is not considered an over-the-counter medication for this purpose. It does not require school personnel to assist pupils in applying sunscreen.
