IL HB5911

Amends Illinois School Code Section 27-8.1 to require schools report additional dental examination data to the State Board of Education by June 30 each year.

Schools must report the number of enrolled children who received required dental exams, including breakdowns for dental sealants, dental caries experience, untreated decay, and urgent treatment needs.

Schools must report the number of children who did not receive required dental exams, including those with scheduled appointments, those exempt on medical/disability/religious grounds, and those granted waivers for undue burden or lack of access to dentists.

Reported information must be provided to the Department of Public Health by the State Board of Education and made publicly available by December 1 each year.
