Pennsylvania SB1234 mandates scoliosis screening for students in grades five, six, seven, and nine, and ungraded classes, and abrogates existing.

Pennsylvania SB1234 amends the Public School Code to include scoliosis screening in school health programs. Screening is required for students in grades five, six, seven, and nine, and for age-appropriate students in ungraded classes. Screening must follow administrative and professional guidelines, conducted by qualified personnel. Students under medical care or whose parents object do not need to be tested. The Department of Health will issue guidelines to ensure compliance, and screening results will be part of the student's health record.
