Texas HB3029 allows licensed physicians and registered nurses to administer medication to students in public and private schools.

Texas HB3029 amends the Education Code to allow licensed physicians and registered nurses providing volunteer services to administer medication to students in public and private schools. The bill specifies that schools can adopt policies permitting employees, including nurses, to administer nonprescription medication to students without further authorization if certain conditions are met. These conditions include receiving a written request from the student's parent or legal guardian, ensuring the medication is unexpired and properly labeled, and administering the correct dosage.
