Bill > SB0110

This bill requires the Indiana Department of Education to create a program that provides technical assistance to public schools and charter schools interested in establishing school-based health centers (SBHCs) in collaboration with local health systems. A school-based health center is a healthcare facility located within a school that provides medical services directly to students, typically offering primary care, preventive services, and sometimes mental health support. The program will help schools navigate the process of setting up these centers, which can improve student access to healthcare, particularly for students who might face barriers to receiving medical care outside of school. The bill specifies that this program will take effect on July 1, 2025, and involves coordination between the Department of Education and the Indiana Department of Health to support schools in developing these healthcare resources.
