IN HB1075

School corporations and charter schools must develop plans to conduct developmentally appropriate, evidence-based mental health and substance use disorder screenings for students in kindergarten through grade 12, including screening for high risk of later violence and resilience

Parental consent is required before screening unemancipated minors, and parents must be notified of the screening's purpose, date, and results along with available resources

The Indiana Department of Education must provide schools with evidence-based screening tools and resources, developed in consultation with the Division of Mental Health and Addiction

Screening results cannot be used for decisions about a student's instruction, academic opportunities, or discipline, and schools are not responsible for providing additional care identified through screenings

Screening data must be destroyed within 60 days of obtaining results or upon notifying the parent/student, whichever comes first, with records maintained according to federal privacy laws
