HB4114 requires the State Board of Education to release a strategy for universal mental health screenings in schools, including a tool for measuring readiness. The strategy must build on existing efforts to understand district needs for resources, technology, training, and infrastructure. The State Board of Education must issue a report to the Governor and the General Assembly on school district readiness and a phased approach to implementing these screenings.
