Bill > SB160

This bill requires the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services, in collaboration with the Department of Education, to publish comprehensive informational materials about Type 1 diabetes on their website. The materials must include a detailed description of Type 1 diabetes, its risk factors and warning signs, a recommendation for parents to consult primary care providers if their child displays potential symptoms, an explanation of the screening process and its implications, and guidance on developing a treatment plan following a diagnosis. Local education agencies will be mandated to make these materials available to parents or guardians of enrolled students. The bill will take effect on August 1 following its enactment, with a specific provision that if enacted before or on August 1, 2025, it will take effect on August 1 of the first full year after enactment. The goal of this legislation is to increase awareness and early detection of Type 1 diabetes among students by providing accessible, informative resources to parents and guardians.
