ACTION ALERT - The Seizure Safe Schools Act Needs You!
Calling all advocates! We want to see HB 4970 reach the finish line before this year ends! The bill has already passed out of the House and now needs the Senate to take up a vote ASAP! Please click below to reach out to your local Senator and request that they vote on HB 4970 during lame duck! This bill will allow for a safe and secure learning environment for students with epilepsy. This bill has passed in 19 other States and we want Michigan to be the next one!
Help us get this to the finish line before this legislation expires at the end of this year! Currently we are expecting some legislative session to take place the first week of December – we need your voice now!
To learn more about the Seizure Safe Schools Act (HB 4970) and why it is so important to students living with epilepsy, please visit the Epilepsy Foundation of Michigan.
