1 | AN ACT concerning education.
| |||||||||||||||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| |||||||||||||||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| |||||||||||||||||||
4 | Section 5. The School Code is amended by changing Section | |||||||||||||||||||
5 | 27-8.1 as follows:
| |||||||||||||||||||
6 | (105 ILCS 5/27-8.1) (from Ch. 122, par. 27-8.1) | |||||||||||||||||||
7 | Sec. 27-8.1. Health examinations and immunizations. | |||||||||||||||||||
8 | (1) In compliance with rules and regulations which the | |||||||||||||||||||
9 | Department of Public
Health shall promulgate, and except as | |||||||||||||||||||
10 | hereinafter provided, all children in
Illinois shall have a | |||||||||||||||||||
11 | health examination as follows: within one year prior to
| |||||||||||||||||||
12 | entering kindergarten or the first grade of any public, | |||||||||||||||||||
13 | private, or parochial
elementary school; upon entering the | |||||||||||||||||||
14 | sixth and ninth grades of any public,
private, or parochial | |||||||||||||||||||
15 | school; prior to entrance into any public, private, or
| |||||||||||||||||||
16 | parochial nursery school; and, irrespective of grade, | |||||||||||||||||||
17 | immediately prior to or
upon entrance into any public, private, | |||||||||||||||||||
18 | or parochial school or nursery school,
each child shall present | |||||||||||||||||||
19 | proof of having been examined in accordance with this
Section | |||||||||||||||||||
20 | and the rules and regulations promulgated hereunder. Any child | |||||||||||||||||||
21 | who received a health examination within one year prior to | |||||||||||||||||||
22 | entering the fifth grade for the 2007-2008 school year is not | |||||||||||||||||||
23 | required to receive an additional health examination in order |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | to comply with the provisions of Public Act 95-422 when he or | ||||||
2 | she attends school for the 2008-2009 school year, unless the | ||||||
3 | child is attending school for the first time as provided in | ||||||
4 | this paragraph. | ||||||
5 | A tuberculosis skin test screening shall be included as a | ||||||
6 | required part of
each health examination included under this | ||||||
7 | Section if the child resides in an
area designated by the | ||||||
8 | Department of Public Health as having a high incidence
of | ||||||
9 | tuberculosis. Additional health examinations of pupils, | ||||||
10 | including eye examinations, may be required when deemed | ||||||
11 | necessary by school
authorities. Parents are encouraged to have | ||||||
12 | their children undergo eye examinations at the same points in | ||||||
13 | time required for health
examinations. | ||||||
14 | (1.5) In compliance with rules adopted by the Department of | ||||||
15 | Public Health and except as otherwise provided in this Section, | ||||||
16 | all children in kindergarten and the second, sixth, and ninth | ||||||
17 | grades of any public, private, or parochial school shall have a | ||||||
18 | dental examination. Each of these children shall present proof | ||||||
19 | of having been examined by a dentist in accordance with this | ||||||
20 | Section and rules adopted under this Section before May 15th of | ||||||
21 | the school year. If a child in the second, sixth, or ninth | ||||||
22 | grade fails to present proof by May 15th, the school may hold | ||||||
23 | the child's report card until one of the following occurs: (i) | ||||||
24 | the child presents proof of a completed dental examination or | ||||||
25 | (ii) the child presents proof that a dental examination will | ||||||
26 | take place within 60 days after May 15th. The Department of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Public Health shall establish, by rule, a waiver for children | ||||||
2 | who show an undue burden or a lack of access to a dentist. Each | ||||||
3 | public, private, and parochial school must give notice of this | ||||||
4 | dental examination requirement to the parents and guardians of | ||||||
5 | students at least 60 days before May 15th of each school year.
| ||||||
6 | (1.10) Except as otherwise provided in this Section, all | ||||||
7 | children enrolling in kindergarten in a public, private, or | ||||||
8 | parochial school on or after January 1, 2008 (the effective | ||||||
9 | date of Public Act 95-671) and any student enrolling for the | ||||||
10 | first time in a public, private, or parochial school on or | ||||||
11 | after January 1, 2008 (the effective date of Public Act 95-671) | ||||||
12 | shall have an eye examination. Each of these children shall | ||||||
13 | present proof of having been examined by a physician licensed | ||||||
14 | to practice medicine in all of its branches or a licensed | ||||||
15 | optometrist within the previous year, in accordance with this | ||||||
16 | Section and rules adopted under this Section, before October | ||||||
17 | 15th of the school year. If the child fails to present proof by | ||||||
18 | October 15th, the school may hold the child's report card until | ||||||
19 | one of the following occurs: (i) the child presents proof of a | ||||||
20 | completed eye examination or (ii) the child presents proof that | ||||||
21 | an eye examination will take place within 60 days after October | ||||||
22 | 15th. The Department of Public Health shall establish, by rule, | ||||||
23 | a waiver for children who show an undue burden or a lack of | ||||||
24 | access to a physician licensed to practice medicine in all of | ||||||
25 | its branches who provides eye examinations or to a licensed | ||||||
26 | optometrist. Each public, private, and parochial school must |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | give notice of this eye examination requirement to the parents | ||||||
2 | and guardians of students in compliance with rules of the | ||||||
3 | Department of Public Health. Nothing in this Section shall be | ||||||
4 | construed to allow a school to exclude a child from attending | ||||||
5 | because of a parent's or guardian's failure to obtain an eye | ||||||
6 | examination for the child.
| ||||||
7 | (2) The Department of Public Health shall promulgate rules | ||||||
8 | and regulations
specifying the examinations and procedures | ||||||
9 | that constitute a health examination, which shall include an | ||||||
10 | age-appropriate developmental screening, an age-appropriate | ||||||
11 | social and emotional screening (which must include questions on | ||||||
12 | the child's medical history that pertain to the mental health | ||||||
13 | issues of his or her family and any other matter that could | ||||||
14 | impact the child's future mental health) , and the collection of | ||||||
15 | data relating to asthma and obesity
(including at a minimum, | ||||||
16 | date of birth, gender, height, weight, blood pressure, and date | ||||||
17 | of exam),
and a dental examination and may recommend by rule | ||||||
18 | that certain additional examinations be performed.
The rules | ||||||
19 | and regulations of the Department of Public Health shall | ||||||
20 | specify that
a tuberculosis skin test screening shall be | ||||||
21 | included as a required part of each
health examination included | ||||||
22 | under this Section if the child resides in an area
designated | ||||||
23 | by the Department of Public Health as having a high incidence | ||||||
24 | of
tuberculosis.
With respect to the developmental screening | ||||||
25 | and the social and emotional screening, the Department of | ||||||
26 | Public Health must, no later than January 1, 2019, develop |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | rules and appropriate revisions to the Child Health Examination | ||||||
2 | form in conjunction with a statewide organization representing | ||||||
3 | school boards; a statewide organization representing | ||||||
4 | pediatricians; statewide organizations representing | ||||||
5 | individuals holding Illinois educator licenses with school | ||||||
6 | support personnel endorsements, including school social | ||||||
7 | workers, school psychologists, and school nurses; a statewide | ||||||
8 | organization representing children's mental health experts; a | ||||||
9 | statewide organization representing school principals; the | ||||||
10 | Director of Healthcare and Family Services or his or her | ||||||
11 | designee, the State Superintendent of Education or his or her | ||||||
12 | designee; and representatives of other appropriate State | ||||||
13 | agencies and, at a minimum, must recommend the use of validated | ||||||
14 | screening tools appropriate to the child's age or grade, and, | ||||||
15 | with regard to the social and emotional screening, require | ||||||
16 | recording only whether or not the screening was completed. The | ||||||
17 | rules shall take into consideration the screening | ||||||
18 | recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics and must | ||||||
19 | be consistent with the State Board of Education's social and | ||||||
20 | emotional learning standards. The Department of Public Health | ||||||
21 | shall specify that a diabetes
screening as defined by rule | ||||||
22 | shall be included as a required part of each
health | ||||||
23 | examination.
Diabetes testing is not required. | ||||||
24 | Physicians licensed to practice medicine in all of its | ||||||
25 | branches, licensed advanced
practice registered nurses, or | ||||||
26 | licensed physician assistants shall be
responsible for the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | performance of the health examinations, other than dental
| ||||||
2 | examinations, eye examinations, and vision and hearing | ||||||
3 | screening, and shall sign all report forms
required by | ||||||
4 | subsection (4) of this Section that pertain to those portions | ||||||
5 | of
the health examination for which the physician, advanced | ||||||
6 | practice registered nurse, or
physician assistant is | ||||||
7 | responsible.
If a registered
nurse performs any part of a | ||||||
8 | health examination, then a physician licensed to
practice | ||||||
9 | medicine in all of its branches must review and sign all | ||||||
10 | required
report forms. Licensed dentists shall perform all | ||||||
11 | dental examinations and
shall sign all report forms required by | ||||||
12 | subsection (4) of this Section that
pertain to the dental | ||||||
13 | examinations. Physicians licensed to practice medicine
in all | ||||||
14 | its branches or licensed optometrists shall perform all eye | ||||||
15 | examinations
required by this Section and shall sign all report | ||||||
16 | forms required by
subsection (4) of this Section that pertain | ||||||
17 | to the eye examination. For purposes of this Section, an eye | ||||||
18 | examination shall at a minimum include history, visual acuity, | ||||||
19 | subjective refraction to best visual acuity near and far, | ||||||
20 | internal and external examination, and a glaucoma evaluation, | ||||||
21 | as well as any other tests or observations that in the | ||||||
22 | professional judgment of the doctor are necessary. Vision and
| ||||||
23 | hearing screening tests, which shall not be considered | ||||||
24 | examinations as that
term is used in this Section, shall be | ||||||
25 | conducted in accordance with rules and
regulations of the | ||||||
26 | Department of Public Health, and by individuals whom the
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Department of Public Health has certified.
In these rules and | ||||||
2 | regulations, the Department of Public Health shall
require that | ||||||
3 | individuals conducting vision screening tests give a child's
| ||||||
4 | parent or guardian written notification, before the vision | ||||||
5 | screening is
conducted, that states, "Vision screening is not a | ||||||
6 | substitute for a
complete eye and vision evaluation by an eye | ||||||
7 | doctor. Your child is not
required to undergo this vision | ||||||
8 | screening if an optometrist or
ophthalmologist has completed | ||||||
9 | and signed a report form indicating that
an examination has | ||||||
10 | been administered within the previous 12 months.". | ||||||
11 | (2.5) With respect to the developmental screening and the | ||||||
12 | social and emotional screening portion of the health | ||||||
13 | examination, each child may present proof of having been | ||||||
14 | screened in accordance with this Section and the rules adopted | ||||||
15 | under this Section before October 15th of the school year. With | ||||||
16 | regard to the social and emotional screening only, the | ||||||
17 | examining health care provider shall only record whether or not | ||||||
18 | the screening was completed. If the child fails to present | ||||||
19 | proof of the developmental screening or the social and | ||||||
20 | emotional screening portions of the health examination by | ||||||
21 | October 15th of the school year, qualified school support | ||||||
22 | personnel may, with a parent's or guardian's consent, offer the | ||||||
23 | developmental screening or the social and emotional screening | ||||||
24 | to the child. Each public, private, and parochial school must | ||||||
25 | give notice of the developmental screening and social and | ||||||
26 | emotional screening requirements to the parents and guardians |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of students in compliance with the rules of the Department of | ||||||
2 | Public Health. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to | ||||||
3 | allow a school to exclude a child from attending because of a | ||||||
4 | parent's or guardian's failure to obtain a developmental | ||||||
5 | screening or a social and emotional screening for the child. | ||||||
6 | Once a developmental screening or a social and emotional | ||||||
7 | screening is completed and proof has been presented to the | ||||||
8 | school, the school may, with a parent's or guardian's consent, | ||||||
9 | make available appropriate school personnel to work with the | ||||||
10 | parent or guardian, the child, and the provider who signed the | ||||||
11 | screening form to obtain any appropriate evaluations and | ||||||
12 | services as indicated on the form and in other information and | ||||||
13 | documentation provided by the parents, guardians, or provider. | ||||||
14 | (3) Every child shall, at or about the same time as he or | ||||||
15 | she receives
a health examination required by subsection (1) of | ||||||
16 | this Section, present
to the local school proof of having | ||||||
17 | received such immunizations against
preventable communicable | ||||||
18 | diseases as the Department of Public Health shall
require by | ||||||
19 | rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to this Section and | ||||||
20 | the
Communicable Disease Prevention Act. | ||||||
21 | (4) The individuals conducting the health examination,
| ||||||
22 | dental examination, or eye examination shall record the
fact of | ||||||
23 | having conducted the examination, and such additional | ||||||
24 | information as
required, including for a health examination
| ||||||
25 | data relating to asthma and obesity
(including at a minimum, | ||||||
26 | date of birth, gender, height, weight, blood pressure, and date |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of exam), on uniform forms which the Department of Public | ||||||
2 | Health and the State
Board of Education shall prescribe for | ||||||
3 | statewide use. The examiner shall
summarize on the report form | ||||||
4 | any condition that he or she suspects indicates a
need for | ||||||
5 | special services, including for a health examination factors | ||||||
6 | relating to asthma or obesity. The duty to summarize on the | ||||||
7 | report form does not apply to social and emotional screenings. | ||||||
8 | The confidentiality of the information and records relating to | ||||||
9 | the developmental screening and the social and emotional | ||||||
10 | screening shall be determined by the statutes, rules, and | ||||||
11 | professional ethics governing the type of provider conducting | ||||||
12 | the screening. The individuals confirming the administration | ||||||
13 | of
required immunizations shall record as indicated on the form | ||||||
14 | that the
immunizations were administered. | ||||||
15 | (5) If a child does not submit proof of having had either | ||||||
16 | the health
examination or the immunization as required, then | ||||||
17 | the child shall be examined
or receive the immunization, as the | ||||||
18 | case may be, and present proof by October
15 of the current | ||||||
19 | school year, or by an earlier date of the current school year
| ||||||
20 | established by a school district. To establish a date before | ||||||
21 | October 15 of the
current school year for the health | ||||||
22 | examination or immunization as required, a
school district must | ||||||
23 | give notice of the requirements of this Section 60 days
prior | ||||||
24 | to the earlier established date. If for medical reasons one or | ||||||
25 | more of
the required immunizations must be given after October | ||||||
26 | 15 of the current school
year, or after an earlier established |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | date of the current school year, then
the child shall present, | ||||||
2 | by October 15, or by the earlier established date, a
schedule | ||||||
3 | for the administration of the immunizations and a statement of | ||||||
4 | the
medical reasons causing the delay, both the schedule and | ||||||
5 | the statement being
issued by the physician, advanced practice | ||||||
6 | registered nurse, physician assistant,
registered nurse, or | ||||||
7 | local health department that will
be responsible for | ||||||
8 | administration of the remaining required immunizations. If
a | ||||||
9 | child does not comply by October 15, or by the earlier | ||||||
10 | established date of
the current school year, with the | ||||||
11 | requirements of this subsection, then the
local school | ||||||
12 | authority shall exclude that child from school until such time | ||||||
13 | as
the child presents proof of having had the health | ||||||
14 | examination as required and
presents proof of having received | ||||||
15 | those required immunizations which are
medically possible to | ||||||
16 | receive immediately. During a child's exclusion from
school for | ||||||
17 | noncompliance with this subsection, the child's parents or | ||||||
18 | legal
guardian shall be considered in violation of Section 26-1 | ||||||
19 | and subject to any
penalty imposed by Section 26-10. This | ||||||
20 | subsection (5) does not apply to dental examinations, eye | ||||||
21 | examinations, and the developmental screening and the social | ||||||
22 | and emotional screening portions of the health examination. If | ||||||
23 | the student is an out-of-state transfer student and does not | ||||||
24 | have the proof required under this subsection (5) before | ||||||
25 | October 15 of the current year or whatever date is set by the | ||||||
26 | school district, then he or she may only attend classes (i) if |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | he or she has proof that an appointment for the required | ||||||
2 | vaccinations has been scheduled with a party authorized to | ||||||
3 | submit proof of the required vaccinations. If the proof of | ||||||
4 | vaccination required under this subsection (5) is not submitted | ||||||
5 | within 30 days after the student is permitted to attend | ||||||
6 | classes, then the student is not to be permitted to attend | ||||||
7 | classes until proof of the vaccinations has been properly | ||||||
8 | submitted. No school district or employee of a school district | ||||||
9 | shall be held liable for any injury or illness to another | ||||||
10 | person that results from admitting an out-of-state transfer | ||||||
11 | student to class that has an appointment scheduled pursuant to | ||||||
12 | this subsection (5). | ||||||
13 | (6) Every school shall report to the State Board of | ||||||
14 | Education by November
15, in the manner which that agency shall | ||||||
15 | require, the number of children who
have received the necessary | ||||||
16 | immunizations and the health examination (other than a dental | ||||||
17 | examination or eye examination) as
required, indicating, of | ||||||
18 | those who have not received the immunizations and
examination | ||||||
19 | as required, the number of children who are exempt from health
| ||||||
20 | examination and immunization requirements on religious or | ||||||
21 | medical grounds as
provided in subsection (8). On or before | ||||||
22 | December 1 of each year, every public school district and | ||||||
23 | registered nonpublic school shall make publicly available the | ||||||
24 | immunization data they are required to submit to the State | ||||||
25 | Board of Education by November 15. The immunization data made | ||||||
26 | publicly available must be identical to the data the school |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | district or school has reported to the State Board of | ||||||
2 | Education. | ||||||
3 | Every school shall report to the State Board of Education | ||||||
4 | by June 30, in the manner that the State Board requires, the | ||||||
5 | number of children who have received the required dental | ||||||
6 | examination, indicating, of those who have not received the | ||||||
7 | required dental examination, the number of children who are | ||||||
8 | exempt from the dental examination on religious grounds as | ||||||
9 | provided in subsection (8) of this Section and the number of | ||||||
10 | children who have received a waiver under subsection (1.5) of | ||||||
11 | this Section. | ||||||
12 | Every school shall report to the State Board of Education | ||||||
13 | by June 30, in the manner that the State Board requires, the | ||||||
14 | number of children who have received the required eye | ||||||
15 | examination, indicating, of those who have not received the | ||||||
16 | required eye examination, the number of children who are exempt | ||||||
17 | from the eye examination as provided in subsection (8) of this | ||||||
18 | Section, the number of children who have received a waiver | ||||||
19 | under subsection (1.10) of this Section, and the total number | ||||||
20 | of children in noncompliance with the eye examination | ||||||
21 | requirement. | ||||||
22 | The reported information under this subsection (6) shall be | ||||||
23 | provided to the
Department of Public Health by the State Board | ||||||
24 | of Education. | ||||||
25 | (7) Upon determining that the number of pupils who are | ||||||
26 | required to be in
compliance with subsection (5) of this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Section is below 90% of the number of
pupils enrolled in the | ||||||
2 | school district, 10% of each State aid payment made
pursuant to | ||||||
3 | Section 18-8.05 or 18-8.15 to the school district for such year | ||||||
4 | may be withheld
by the State Board of Education until the | ||||||
5 | number of students in compliance with
subsection (5) is the | ||||||
6 | applicable specified percentage or higher. | ||||||
7 | (8) Children of parents or legal guardians who object to | ||||||
8 | health, dental, or eye examinations or any part thereof, to | ||||||
9 | immunizations, or to vision and hearing screening tests on | ||||||
10 | religious grounds shall not be required to undergo the | ||||||
11 | examinations, tests, or immunizations to which they so object | ||||||
12 | if such parents or legal guardians present to the appropriate | ||||||
13 | local school authority a signed Certificate of Religious | ||||||
14 | Exemption detailing the grounds for objection and the specific | ||||||
15 | immunizations, tests, or examinations to which they object. The | ||||||
16 | grounds for objection must set forth the specific religious | ||||||
17 | belief that conflicts with the examination, test, | ||||||
18 | immunization, or other medical intervention. The signed | ||||||
19 | certificate shall also reflect the parent's or legal guardian's | ||||||
20 | understanding of the school's exclusion policies in the case of | ||||||
21 | a vaccine-preventable disease outbreak or exposure. The | ||||||
22 | certificate must also be signed by the authorized examining | ||||||
23 | health care provider responsible for the performance of the | ||||||
24 | child's health examination confirming that the provider | ||||||
25 | provided education to the parent or legal guardian on the | ||||||
26 | benefits of immunization and the health risks to the student |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | and to the community of the communicable diseases for which | ||||||
2 | immunization is required in this State. However, the health | ||||||
3 | care provider's signature on the certificate reflects only that | ||||||
4 | education was provided and does not allow a health care | ||||||
5 | provider grounds to determine a religious exemption. Those | ||||||
6 | receiving immunizations required under this Code shall be | ||||||
7 | provided with the relevant vaccine information statements that | ||||||
8 | are required to be disseminated by the federal National | ||||||
9 | Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, which may contain | ||||||
10 | information on circumstances when a vaccine should not be | ||||||
11 | administered, prior to administering a vaccine. A healthcare | ||||||
12 | provider may consider including without limitation the | ||||||
13 | nationally accepted recommendations from federal agencies such | ||||||
14 | as the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the | ||||||
15 | information outlined in the relevant vaccine information | ||||||
16 | statement, and vaccine package inserts, along with the | ||||||
17 | healthcare provider's clinical judgment, to determine whether | ||||||
18 | any child may be more susceptible to experiencing an adverse | ||||||
19 | vaccine reaction than the general population, and, if so, the | ||||||
20 | healthcare provider may exempt the child from an immunization | ||||||
21 | or adopt an individualized immunization schedule. The | ||||||
22 | Certificate of Religious Exemption shall be created by the | ||||||
23 | Department of Public Health and shall be made available and | ||||||
24 | used by parents and legal guardians by the beginning of the | ||||||
25 | 2015-2016 school year. Parents or legal guardians must submit | ||||||
26 | the Certificate of Religious Exemption to their local school |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | authority prior to entering kindergarten, sixth grade, and | ||||||
2 | ninth grade for each child for which they are requesting an | ||||||
3 | exemption. The religious objection stated need not be directed | ||||||
4 | by the tenets of an established religious organization. | ||||||
5 | However, general philosophical or moral reluctance to allow | ||||||
6 | physical examinations, eye examinations, immunizations, vision | ||||||
7 | and hearing screenings, or dental examinations does not provide | ||||||
8 | a sufficient basis for an exception to statutory requirements. | ||||||
9 | The local school authority is responsible for determining if
| ||||||
10 | the content of the Certificate of Religious Exemption
| ||||||
11 | constitutes a valid religious objection.
The local school | ||||||
12 | authority shall inform the parent or legal guardian of | ||||||
13 | exclusion procedures, in accordance with the Department's | ||||||
14 | rules under Part 690 of Title 77 of the Illinois Administrative | ||||||
15 | Code, at the time the objection is presented. | ||||||
16 | If the physical condition
of the child is such that any one | ||||||
17 | or more of the immunizing agents should not
be administered, | ||||||
18 | the examining physician, advanced practice registered nurse, | ||||||
19 | or
physician assistant responsible for the performance of the
| ||||||
20 | health examination shall endorse that fact upon the health | ||||||
21 | examination form. | ||||||
22 | Exempting a child from the health,
dental, or eye | ||||||
23 | examination does not exempt the child from
participation in the | ||||||
24 | program of physical education training provided in
