Senate Bill 280 would amend the Public Health Code to require dental oral assessments for children who are registering for the first time in kindergarten or the first grade in a school in Michigan. However, the requirement would not apply to a child whose parent, guardian, or person in loco parentis provides a written statement that the requirement violates their personal religious beliefs. (Currently, such assessments are allowed and not required.) The bill also would eliminate a January 1, 2024 expiration date that now applies to these provisions.
