Bill > HB05659

This bill proposes to amend an existing statute to expand the services offered at school-based health centers (SBHCs) by allowing them to provide medical services not just to students, but also to educators and school personnel who work within the same school facility where the health center is located. School-based health centers are medical facilities typically located on school grounds that provide convenient healthcare services, and this legislation would broaden their scope of care to include school staff in addition to students. By permitting SBHCs to serve educators and school personnel, the bill aims to improve healthcare access for school employees, potentially offering them convenient, on-site medical services during their workday. The proposed change appears to be a straightforward expansion of existing healthcare service provisions, with the goal of supporting the overall health and well-being of both students and school staff within the same educational environment.
