Bill > HB1917

This bill requires public, private, parochial, or parish schools in Missouri to conduct hearing screenings for students entering kindergarten or first grade beginning in the 2025-26 school year. The bill defines key terms such as "parent" and "student," and outlines the requirements for the hearing screenings, including when they must be conducted, who can conduct them, and the process for parents to opt out. The bill also requires the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Health and Senior Services to develop a model hearing screening program and promulgate necessary rules and regulations.
