IN RE: | SB504 by Deuell (Relating to the requirement that certain schoolchildren be screened for abnormal spinal curvature.), As Engrossed |
The bill would allow each public school to choose to either participate in the spinal screening program for children in grades 6 and 9, or to provide information developed by the Department of State Health Services on abnormal spinal curvature to the parents, managing conservators, or guardians of children in grades 6 through 9 attending the school.
The Texas Department of State Health Services indicates it could absorb the costs associated with the bill within its current resources.
