Seizure Awareness and Preparedness Act

# Seizure Awareness and Preparedness Act Summary **What It Would Do:** This bill would provide federal funding to help schools better support students with epilepsy and seizure disorders. The Department of Education would award grants to states, which would then distribute money to local school districts.

Schools would use these funds to train teachers and staff on how to recognize seizures, respond to them safely, and manage individualized health care plans for affected students. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily benefits students with epilepsy or seizure disorders and their families by ensuring school staff are properly trained to handle medical emergencies. It also affects schools and states, which would receive and manage the funding, and teachers and school personnel who would receive the training. **Current Status:** The bill (S 1024) was introduced by Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full Senate.
