Sam's Law

Chamber Passed·5/7/25

North Carolina H4, known as Sam's Law, mandates seizure preparedness policies and training for school personnel in public schools.

Sam's Law, also known as the Seizure Safe Schools Act of 2025, requires public school units to adopt policies for seizure preparedness. This includes creating individualized Seizure Action Plans for students diagnosed with seizure disorders, ensuring at least one employee per school is trained to administer seizure medication, and providing seizure education to all school personnel. The law also mandates annual self-study reviews for school personnel on seizure disorders and requires informational posters on seizure first aid to be displayed in schools.
