The Seizure Safe Schools Act of 2026 requires the Secretary of Education, working with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, to issue guidance within six months on how elementary and secondary schools can create a safe environment for students with epilepsy and other seizure disorders. The guidance will cover how schools can provide appropriate services and accommodations under Section 504 plans or individualized education programs (IEPs) to support students with seizure conditions. The bill affects all public and private elementary and secondary schools across the country, as well as students with seizure disorders and their families. The Secretary of Education may update the guidance as needed in the future to reflect new best practices or information. No specific funding amount is allocated in the bill.
