Florida H0173 strengthens parental rights regarding their minor child's health and education records, consent for health screenings, and involvement.

Florida H0173 amends state statutes to reinforce parental rights concerning their minor child's health and education. It mandates that school districts provide parents with questionnaires or health screening forms before administration, allowing parents to opt their child out. Parents must consent in writing before any health screenings or biofeedback devices are used on their child, with results shared confidentially. The bill also ensures parents can access their child's medical records and be notified of any changes in their child's services or monitoring.
