FL S1282

Requires children ages 12-18 attending public or private schools in Florida to present proof of an annual adolescent well-care examination, defined as physical, developmental, behavioral, and psychosocial screening based on American Academy of Pediatrics 2017 Bright Futures guidelines.

Authorizes schools to refuse admission to students who do not present proof of examination, though students may have up to 30 school days to comply; homeless children and those in the child welfare system receive a temporary 30-day exemption.

Exempts children from the examination requirement if a parent submits a written request stating religious objections.

Requires the Department of Education in consultation with the Department of Health to develop a standardized proof of examination form to be included in students' permanent records and transferred between schools using Florida's automated records system.

Directs school boards and juvenile justice officials to follow up with students until proper documentation is obtained, and makes parents responsible for ensuring their child's compliance with examination requirements.
