Plain-language change summary

The amended version of SB 5404 allows students and school personnel to apply sunscreen on school property or during school-related events without needing a doctor's note, which is unchanged from the previous version. However, it has removed the provision that included summer camps in the scope of where sunscreen application is permitted. The updated bill still stresses the importance of educating students about sun safety but places the responsibility for providing sunscreen on parents or guardians for student use. This change emphasizes parental involvement and ensures that students can protect themselves from sunburn while at school.
