Pennsylvania HB1045 mandates seizure recognition and first aid training for school employees with student contact.

Pennsylvania HB1045 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to require school employees who have direct contact with students to complete a Department of Health-approved course on seizure recognition and related first aid. This applies to school nurses and other employees, starting from the 2025-2026 school year and every two years thereafter. The bill ensures these employees are trained to manage seizures effectively and provides civil immunity for those who act in good faith during emergencies.
