AN ACT CONCERNING THE PROVISION OF SERVICES TO EDUCATORS AND SCHOOL PERSONNEL AT SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTERS.

HB 5659 amends state law to allow school-based health centers to provide services directly to educators and school personnel (like teachers and administrators) who work at the same school facility where the health center is located. This expands the existing eligibility for health services at these centers, which previously may have been limited to students. The key provision changes section 19a-6p of the general statutes to explicitly include school staff as eligible recipients. The bill directly affects school employees seeking on-site health care access without requiring them to seek services elsewhere.
