Requires all students enrolled in grades six through 12 to have certain physical examination that includes cardiac component.
This bill requires all public and nonpublic school students in grades six through twelve to undergo a physical examination using a standardized "Preparticipation Physical Evaluation" form that includes cardiac screening. It expands current law, which previously applied only to student-athletes, to cover all students in these grades. Healthcare providers performing the exams must complete a cardiac screening training module and certify their qualifications on the form, which schools must retain. The policy takes effect for the 2023-2024 school year.
