AI Summary
This bill requires the Indiana Department of Education to develop and publish comprehensive informational materials about type 1 diabetes for parents of students, starting in the 2026-2027 school year. The materials must include a description of type 1 diabetes, its risk factors and warning signs, and emphasize the importance of screening students for early detection using a blood autoantibody test. Public schools and charter schools will be required to provide these materials to parents annually when students enroll. The informational materials must also include a recommendation that parents consult with a doctor, potentially an endocrinologist, if a student displays warning signs or shows positive early detection screening results. The goal is to increase awareness and early identification of type 1 diabetes among students, promoting timely medical intervention and treatment planning.
