                  An act relating to education; permitting secondary 
                  students to carry and use nonprescription pain relief; 
                  proposing coding for new law in Minnesota Statutes, 
                  chapter 121A. 
        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA: 
           Section 1.  [121A.222] [POSSESSION AND USE OF 
        NONPRESCRIPTION PAIN RELIEVERS BY SECONDARY STUDENTS.] 
           A secondary student may possess and use nonprescription 
        pain relief in a manner consistent with the labeling, if the 
        district has received a written authorization from the student's 
        parent or guardian permitting the student to self-administer the 
        medication.  The parent or guardian must submit written 
        authorization for the student to self-administer the medication 
        each school year.  The district may revoke a student's privilege 
        to possess and use nonprescription pain relievers if the 
        district determines that the student is abusing the privilege.  
        This section does not apply to the possession or use of any drug 
        or product containing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine as its sole 
        active ingredient or as one of its active ingredients.
