    Key Takeaways

    • Protects individuals from legal liability when administering anti-seizure medication during emergencies.
    • Requires good faith and uncompensated assistance for liability protection to apply.
    • Excludes protection in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
    • Maintains separate rules for schools under the existing Seizure Safe Schools Act.

    Summary

    Assemblymember Michelle Rodriguez's legislation extends liability protections to individuals who administer anti-seizure rescue medication during emergencies, building upon existing provisions that shield school personnel and opioid antagonist administrators from legal consequences.

    The measure creates a new Civil Code section exempting untrained individuals from professional review, civil liability, and criminal prosecution when providing anti-seizure medication in emergency situations. These protections apply only when the medication is administered in good faith without compensation, and the administrator's conduct does not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct. The provisions explicitly exclude administration of anti-seizure medication in school settings, which remain governed by the Seizure Safe Schools Act's training and protocol requirements.

    This addition to state law parallels existing protections for other emergency interventions while maintaining distinct standards for educational environments. The measure requires no state funding or program changes for implementation.
