Legislation has been introduced in South Carolina (S. 935) that would require the Department of Public Health to develop a pamphlet or poster for state governmental entities on seizure first aid. These state governmental entities would be required to display this information in a visible and frequently visited location. The legislation could have a positive impact on the safety of not just those state employees with epilepsy, but everyone in the workplace, including fellow employees and possibly even constituents.
Tell your elected officials to support this critical legislation and help move it forward! We strongly encourage you to share your own personal experience as a member of the epilepsy community. More personalized comments will have a significantly greater impact.
