Parental Rights

School districts must provide parents with questionnaires or health screening forms before administering them to students and must give parents an opportunity to opt their student out of participation.

School districts must adopt procedures allowing parents to notify the principal of concerns about parental notification and must resolve those concerns within 7 calendar days.

The statute governing DNA consent requirements was changed from section 1014.06 to section 1001.42, and the exceptions for when consent is not required were expanded to include additional statutes.

The exception for parental consent in health care decisions was modified to remove the reference to implied consent under s. 383.50 and replace it with a court order exception.

Parents may request a special magistrate to resolve disputes about school district procedures or may bring an action in court to seek declaratory or injunctive relief with attorney fees awarded to the parent.

The biofeedback device provision was modified to specify that the consent requirement applies only when the device is used outside of a health care facility or provider's office.
