John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB1662 by Duncan (Relating to the care of elementary and secondary school students with diabetes.), As Engrossed
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
This bill would require an individual health plan to be developed for each student with diabetes who would need care for the condition while at school. The individual health plan would be developed by the student’s parent or guardian and the student’s personal health care team. The individual health plan would be required to identify the health care services the student may receive at school and be signed by the student’s personal health care team. The parent or guardian would be required to submit a copy of the individual health plan to the school. The bill would require that the school receive and review the plan before the beginning of the school year, on enrollment of the student, or as soon as practicable following the diagnosis of diabetes. The bill would define a school to include a public elementary or secondary school.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
