An Act requiring a mental health wellness examination for all school children

This bill requires all public school children in Massachusetts to undergo a mental health wellness examination, while allowing private school students to be examined upon parental request. Parents must provide proof that their child received this exam within the last 12 months before starting kindergarten or within 30 days of the school year, with an exemption available for those with religious objections. The legislation mandates that exam results be reported to school health staff and parents, including details on diagnoses, medications, and recommended educational adjustments. Additionally, the bill authorizes state grants to help underserved school districts fund these examinations.
