AI Summary

This bill aims to update the postural screening requirements in schools by removing the word "annually" from Section 57 of Chapter 71 of the General Laws. The existing law currently requires schools to conduct postural screenings of students on an annual basis. This bill proposes to remove the requirement for these screenings to be conducted annually, potentially allowing for more flexibility in the frequency of these examinations.
