Louisiana HB352 amends laws to ensure behavioral health services for public school students are provided during school hours.

Louisiana HB352 amends existing law to ensure behavioral health services for public school students are provided during school hours. The bill requires public school governing authorities to adopt policies that allow for such services if deemed medically necessary by a behavioral health provider. These services must be provided in a physical classroom and supervised by a board-certified behavior analyst. The policy must be made public by posting it on the school's website and including it in the student handbook.
