Lopez Bill Would Strengthen Seizure Care Training for School Staff  

Legislation would set clear, timely requirements for school staff training   

(TRENTON) – This National Epilepsy Awareness Month, Assemblywoman Yvonne Lopez is highlighting her bill, A2255, which would amend current law to strengthen training requirements for caring for students with epilepsy and seizure disorders. Specifically, the legislation would modify Paul’s Law to help ensure that staff members at New Jersey schools are trained in the care of these students every five years.

“There’s no room for guesswork when a student has a seizure at school – every second counts,” said Assemblywoman Lopez (D-Middlesex). “This bill would ensure that all school staff are regularly trained to recognize and respond to seizures because in those critical moments, knowing what to do can save a life.”

My Daughter Just Wants To Walk at Graduation. Congress Can Help.

By Kelly Brazzo

Fifteen years ago, I noticed something different about my two-year-old daughter, Sammy’s walk. She had a noticeable sway in her hips, a little diva move that seemed more cute than concerning. But when she struggled to keep up in gymnastics and dance, we took her to a physical therapist. After months of sessions, the therapist made a quiet suggestion that changed everything: “It would be nice to have a diagnosis.”

That comment launched a journey no parent imagines. After undergoing genetic testing, only possible because we enrolled in a study at the National Institutes of Health, Sammy was diagnosed with Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Type 2I/R9, an ultra-rare muscle-wasting disease.

Today, Sammy is 17 — and working hard to be able to walk across the stage at her high school graduation next spring. Whether kids like Sammy can achieve their dreams depends on whether Congress renews the Pediatric Priority Review Voucher (PPRV) program, which expired in December 2024.
