To update postural screenings in schools

Chamber Passed·7/30/26
Introduced Text

Massachusetts H2517 updates school postural screenings to occur in grades 6, 7, 8, or 9.

Massachusetts H2517 amends Section 57 of Chapter 71 of the General Laws to change the frequency and grade levels for postural screenings in schools. Previously, screenings were required annually for students in grades five through nine. The bill modifies this to require screenings in grades 6, 7, 8, or 9, without specifying an annual requirement. This change aims to ensure that students receive necessary postural assessments at appropriate stages of their education.
