Vision screenings; creating certain revolving fund; authorizing certain grants; directing maintenance of certain platform and data management system; establishing guidelines for electronic eye charts. Effective date. Emergency.

This bill creates a revolving fund within the State Department of Health to support public schools in Oklahoma with vision screening programs. The fund will provide grants to help schools purchase necessary equipment and collect data through a cloud-based system, while also requiring the department to maintain an online platform for managing screening information. Additionally, the legislation updates existing rules to allow the use of electronic eye charts instead of printed ones, provided they meet specific standards, and establishes guidelines for registering and training vision screeners. Licensed optometrists and ophthalmologists are exempt from certain training and standard-setting requirements for these programs.
