The substitute, offered by Senator McPike, would combine several provisions into a single, updated code section addressing diabetes management in schools, clarify how diabetes management medical plans (DMMPs) should be implemented, limit a requirement for glucagon to schools that have a diagnosed student with a DMMP in place, and make certain training levels permissive in accordance with the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) guidance. \"Senate Bill 13-03, with the substitute, combines and amends outdated and insufficient Virginia codes pertaining to diabetes management care,\" Senator McPike told the committee.

Supporters told the committee the substitute reflects stakeholder changes made in recent weeks. Carrie Murphy, founder of Follow21Ds, described the condition and the need for statewide clarity: \"Type 1 diabetes is a chronic, life threatening autoimmune disease with no cure. Managing it requires 20 fourseven glucose monitoring and insulin delivery to prevent dangerous blood sugar swings that can lead to seizures, coma, and can sometimes be fatal,\" she said, adding that the substitute incorporates requested amendments from the Virginia Association of School Nurses, the Virginia School Boards Association and the American Diabetes Association.

Other parents, school nurses and education groups testified in favor. Chad Stewart with the Virginia Education Association said the measure's liability protection for staff was important: \"Teachers and school staff want to do the best by students to protect them,\" he said. Kelly Veil and Jennifer Economie, parents of children with type 1 diabetes, described inconsistent experiences getting school districts to accept doctors' orders and DMMPs. School-nursing groups praised the negotiated changes but said they needed time to review the final substitute. Andrew Lamar, speaking for the Virginia Association of School Nurses, said the association's major concerns had been addressed but that some new language merited further review.

Witnesses who identified remaining concerns included Stacy Haney of the Virginia School Boards Association and Patrick Finner, who said some districts had not yet had time to review the substitute. Tom Smith of the Virginia Association of School Superintendents said the timing had limited districts' ability to review the new text. The American Diabetes Association representative recommended two clarifications for committee consideration: that level-3 trainees be supervised in person or virtually, and that the bill require training and care be provided in accordance with ADA Standards of Care.

Committee members asked several substantive questions about how the bill treats students who self-manage, how it compares to episodic treatments such as epinephrine and albuterol, and whether extensive detail belongs in statute versus guidance. McPike said the bill relies on the DMMP (doctor's orders) for individual determinations and that VDOE guidance already describes training levels; he said the substitute makes training permissive and removes certain prior provisions such as the bus-driver requirement.

After discussion, the committee adopted the substitute by voice vote and then \"passed\" the bill by for the day (the committee chair said the motion was \"to pass Senate Bill 13-03 by for the day\"). That action leaves the bill eligible for further amendment and final action at the committee's next meeting.

Votes at this hearing on SB 13-03 were procedural: the substitute was adopted by voice vote and the committee later approved the motion to pass the bill by for the day. No final enactment or final affirmative vote on the bill's merits occurred at this meeting.

Next steps noted by the chair: any additional substitute language should be delivered to committee counsel and posted in advance of the committee's next meeting to allow review. The chair encouraged stakeholders to provide written comments and told staff the committee would take final action at a later date.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Education Wednesday, Feb 12, 2025 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM","oneSentenceSummary","Senate Bill 13-03, a measure to consolidate and update Virginia law on diabetes management in schools, was presented to the House Committee on Education and taken \"by for the day\" after the committee adopted a substitute and heard extended testimony.","taxTitle","2025 Legislature VA, Virginia","taxId",77687,"location","Virginia","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6333011,"Committee reports dozens of bills; many conformed to House versions and sent forward",2698,1101000,3799000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2303923-ce9a125ecca7a087d1802c064039f090&start=1101&end=3799","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2303923-ce9a125ecca7a087d1802c064039f090/thumbnail_1101000.jpg","/articles/6333011/Virginia/Committee-reports-dozens-of-bills-many-conformed-to-House-versions-and-sent-forward","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6333011-33321e8d3dd6c99996ca098f17df663e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771114768&Signature=BkSQtI5Tu2mr5npbBdfaNOCj4BeFpoot3j7JgIzpmc6eB6N9zUrVfwLsKMOBIUlXdaGhgIGvIgkz9oInPKqbfOhM3zySLSBytKJVMLh8W0Ft2vjp29MSVjxcb5mgfaUxs9HZcciXt-o~PC7zkv~7jjCF63yab25G3C~pKbUUo2Fdy~SkXj2isnfQpkCl3frdXm2SIwNV3tfPUhzVlUuDHvRyADakhoS6Sot6t-36z4keWhUBVexa5uuHYjA3AcS8RgaaO0o8a9AI~Sjsp3Y0hjIDRinESoKkm9DKfCQlC-1DBSsflnzkj7H5AQd5hal3jNwQfE8BZwGZIyF9V~8SVg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The House Committee on Education moved a series of Senate bills through committee on the same hearing day, adopting conforming substitutes, committee substitutes and reporting measures to later stages or to appropriations.

Early in the hearing the committee acted on a block of procedural reports and conforming motions. Among the bills acted on were:

- Senate Bill 8-22 (Sen. Van Valkenburg) — conformed to House Bill 16-26 and passed as substituted; the transcript records the vote as 21 to 0.

- Senate Bill 8-79 — reported (identical to House Bill 20-18); the motion to report was made and properly seconded; the transcript records that the bill passed (roll-call not provided).

- Senate Bill 9-55 — conformed by substitute and reported as substituted.

- Senate Bill 10-36 — technical substitute adopted and the bill reported as substituted.

- Senate Bill 12-30 — conforming amendments adopted; the transcript records the bill passed 12 to 9.

- Senate Bill 13-68, 13-70, 13-80, 13-91 — reported or passed as identical to their House counterparts (transcript records several as \"bill reports\" and some with 21 to 0 tallies where specified).

- Senate Bill 14-13 — substituted to make it identical to House Bill 26-18 and reported as substituted; transcript records a vote of 16 to 5.

- Senate Bill 14-62 — amendment adopted to conform to House Bill 18-24; reported as amended 16 to 5.

In the higher education subcommittee report the committee recorded these actions, among others:

- Senate Bill 7-42 (Sen. Locke) — committee substitute conforming to House Bill 2,157; subcommittee recommended reporting on a 10 to 0 vote; full committee reported.

- Senate Bill 9-53 — committee recommended reporting (21 to 0).

- Senate Bill 9-61 — subcommittee substitute adopted and reported as conformed (21 to 0 recorded for final report).

- Senate Bill 10-16 — subcommittee substitute reported to the committee with a subcommittee vote of 7 to 3 and the committee reported the bill 16 to 5.

- Senate Bill 12-29 and Senate Bill 12-59 — both conformed to house counterparts and reported with unanimous (21 to 0) committee tallies where recorded.

- Senate Bill 12-59 — VCU Health System Authority changes; reported 21 to 0.

- Senate Bill 11-06 — conforming amendment adopted and the committee recommended reporting and referring the bill to Appropriations; transcript records the referral with a roll-call referenced as 20-1-0 (reported and referred to appropriations).

Most of the committee actions were procedural conforming votes or committee-substitute reports. Where the transcript recorded numerical tallies, they are noted above; where the transcript shows only that the clerk closed the roll or that the bill \"reports,\" no numerical roll-call was recorded in the spoken transcript.

The committee also paused consideration of Senate Bill 13-03 (diabetes management) after adopting a substitute and passed the measure \"by for the day\" for further review.

Reported bills will appear on the committee calendar for future action or referral to Appropriations as noted by the committee.

Votes and procedural details in this summary reflect the spoken committee record; written committee minutes and the clerk's official roll-call record should be consulted for precise vote counts and member voting records.","During the House Committee on Education hearing the committee approved or reported numerous Senate bills (conforming substitutes and committee substitutes) for further consideration. Several votes included roll-call tallies where recorded.","actionData","errors"]
