Quiz: The Minnesota Law

1. What is the correct citation for Minnesota's seizure-safety law?

Minnesota Statutes section 121A.24. It was enacted in 2021 and applies from the 2022-23 school year. ("HF 3234, May 2022" is a common incorrect citation.)

2. Which schools does the law cover?

All Minnesota public school districts and charter schools.

3. What triggers the requirement for a seizure action plan?

A parent/guardian notifying the school that the child has a provider-diagnosed seizure disorder and has prescribed seizure rescue/treatment medication.

4. Name two of the four things a seizure action plan must do.

Any two: name a trained person at each site; require that person to be trained; provide the plan to that person; file it with the principal or nurse (plus notify staff/volunteers).

5. Does the law set a fixed number of required training hours?

No. It requires that self-study materials be provided. The floor is modest, which is why adoption and follow-through (not just the law) matter.
