Bill overview
This bill requires hearing screenings for students in specific grades (pre-K, K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 11th) within Oklahoma public schools. It establishes procedures for conducting these screenings, including using qualified personnel and specific equipment, and creates a statewide registry of hearing screening providers. The State Board of Health will develop rules, and the State Department of Education will issue an annual report on the program's effectiveness. The bill also mandates notification to parents and guardians regarding screening requirements and recommends comprehensive hearing examinations for students who fail screenings.
