AI Summary
This bill establishes the Vision for Children's Education working group, chaired by the Commissioner of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, to develop a multidisciplinary policy that will be implemented by licensed professionals to reduce the number of children who fail to receive timely age-appropriate vision screening and referrals. The working group will review the success of public schools in meeting vision screening requirements, the availability of data on vision impairment diagnosis and treatment, and the populations that do not receive vision screenings. The group will then develop policies for the respective licensing boards to identify children who have failed vision tests and ensure they receive timely age-appropriate vision screening and referrals. The working group will submit a final report with its findings and recommendations within 12 months of its first meeting.
