Utah law requires public schools to offer free vision screenings to students between ages 3 and 15, and this bill adds new requirements for what happens when a student fails that screening. A recent substitute simplified an earlier version of the bill: rather than requiring schools to confirm parents received results and offer help finding resources, schools would now simply need to notify a parent by phone, email, or another approved method within 30 days after a student fails the initial screening. The bill also allows nonprofit organizations that contract with schools to run these screenings to send home a notice with students who fail, providing information on additional resources and instructions for getting follow-up eye care.
