Digest
HB 3397 extends liability protections to employees of open-enrollment charter schools and private schools who administer medication to students. The bill aligns policies for these schools with those of public school districts, granting immunity from civil liability and administrative disciplinary actions for damages or injuries resulting from administering medication, provided they comply with prescribed procedures. The bill also allows licensed physicians and registered nurses providing volunteer services to administer medication if the school provides liability insurance.
