What is Sam's Law?

2019 Signing Ceremony for HB-684 with Texas Governor, Greg Abbott in Austin, TX

Trysten Pearson, advocating for Sam's Law with Senator Larry Taylor & State Rep. Mayes Middleton

Mission: To Make Texas Schools Safer

What is Sam's Law?

Sam's Law (HB 684), was signed into law on June 11, 2019 with 

Governor Greg Abbott, two GCEA Representatives and many 

Texas Epilepsy Advocates. 


The law requires all Texas public school personnel whose duties include regular contact with students to be trained in seizure recognition and seizure first aid.


The training is FREE. 


People who interact with children with epilepsy on a daily basis should be trained to care for them if they have a seizure. 


Sam's Law ensures that Texas public schools are well-equipped with the tools necessary to provide a safe and enriching environment.


Dec. 2019, Texas Education Agency (TEA) approved the online courses:
