Bill > H0684

This bill adds a new section to Idaho's education code to allow public schools and public charter schools to provide access to behavioral health services via telehealth on school premises. Key provisions include requiring schools to provide a secure, confidential room and necessary technology, obtain annual parental consent, ensure no school employees are present during sessions, and give parents the ability to participate in their child's telehealth sessions. The bill also specifies that schools cannot access or handle student medical records or billing information, and providers can initiate new prescriptions or adjust existing medication after consulting with the parent or guardian. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2024.
