HB1022 modifies Louisiana law to ensure that primary health services for students are provided in the same manner as behavioral health services. It mandates that public school governing authorities adopt policies for primary health services, delivered by licensed primary care providers. The bill ensures parents can choose primary care providers and that these providers must complete a criminal background check. It also allows primary health services during school hours if requested by parents and defines primary health services as routine healthcare, including screening and treatment.
